Increased understanding of the critical issues and opportunities affecting the region New network of participants who come from different backgrounds and diverse interests Access to top leadership in the region Inspiration to address community challenges & produce change Strengthened leadership skills “The past eight months have been one of the most educating experiences of my life. The exposure to not-for-profits and the education arenas was, to me, very humbling as well as educational. Meeting new people, participating in many experiences and gaining understanding of our community has in this short time positively changed my life and view of Tech Valley. I recommend participation in the program highly. At the inception of the opening retreat I met my new classmates. Over the course of the program we have evolved into good friends and in my opinion for many years to come.” : : Joe Volpe | Einhorn Yaffee Prescott, Architecture & Engineering
“Being a part of the Leadership Tech Valley Class of 2008 has deepened my appreciation for the men and women of Tech Valley. From the industry, education and research and service sector leaders whom we visited to our own 2008 classmates, I was able to see that those who live and work in our region are hard- working, creative, caring and giving people. I believe the ties that have been forged over the past year will last a lifetime and benefit me personally and professionally.” : : Harris Oberlander | Trinity Institution-Homer Perkins Center, Inc.

The program has also provided me with so many experiences that I truly believe I would never have had the opportunity to be involved in had it not been for this program. It has offered me the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, ultimately making me a better and more well rounded individual. Throughout the course of the program, I spotted those leadership skills within myself that I needed to improve upon and it also made me recognize those leadership skills that I already possessed.” : : Nicole Helmer | Gordon, Tepper & DeCoursey

Waht does the remark about RG's taxes have to do with this???
Because if everybody would pay their "fair share," then those who are paying what they are expected (which includes the portions that would be paid by those who are NOT paying their fair share) would already have some additional money in their pockets to help to rebuild. There are WAY TOO MANY businesses throughout Schenectady County that are getting off on the backs of the residents / other businesses thanks to backroom handshake deals for them to get the free ride.
