    A testimonial from a Leadership Adirondack graduate:
     
    "The opportunity to participate in the Adirondack Regional Chamber’s Leadership Program has been one of the most beneficial experiences I’ve had in my young career. I was able to work closely with many other professionals to help organize the Battle of the Businesses Trivia Night, which was a very rewarding experience. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with such strong leaders in our area and look forward to my class’s collective growth in service to our communities. Since participating in the ARCC Leadership Adirondack program, I earned a promotion in my role at Glens Falls National Bank. The Leadership Adirondack program has given me the tools to grow as a young professional and has opened the door to create new relationships within my community." - Connor McCoy, Commercial Relationship Manager, Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company. Leadership Adirondack Class of 2023
