LMV has been the catalyst to my career and community development. The opportunity to meet several individuals in my class and through alumni events has not only expanded my network, but has provided a broader understanding of the diversity that makes the Mohawk Valley a quality community in which to live and work. It has also encouraged my involvement throughout the community to help make our region even stronger.
I am confident that our newer leaders in the Mohawk Valley see how crucial it is to bring the ever-discussed consolidation efforts to fruition. Therefore, the area will experience a synergistic regional transformation that will help us better compete for jobs and tourists.
