Chamber accepting applications for Leadership Tech Valley

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. » The Capital Region Chamber announced it is accepting applications for the Leadership Tech Valley (LTV) Class of 2022.

With a network of more than 1,300 graduates, LTV unites individuals from diverse fields and backgrounds to learn more about themselves as leaders and how to best serve their organizations and community.

The program starts with a retreat in September 2021, which includes leadership training, personal development, and team-building activities. Eight subsequent sessions are held each month from October through May, followed by a graduation ceremony.

The monthly sessions are themed around various elements of our community to serve as a catalyst for expanding awareness in economic development, community service, leadership, diversity & inclusion, education, government, community health, and arts & culture.

Each session offers a unique opportunity for participants to have an inside look at some of the area’s most innovative organizations; connect to top business, government, and civic leaders; and enhance their professional networks.

“Leadership Tech Valley has given me deeper access to regional issues, institutions, and individuals, plus an even greater appreciation for where I live and work,” says Jim Salengo, Executive Director, Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corporation and graduate of Leadership Tech Valley Class of 2011.

The deadline to submit applications is May 7 at 3 pm. There will be three virtual information sessions held on March 16, March 30, and April 13 where individuals will have the opportunity to learn more about Leadership Tech Valley and the application process. Register at capitalregionchamber.com.
