We're excited to kick off another year of Leadership Ontario!

We’re so thankful for the incredible sponsors who make this 10-month leadership experience possible, including our Presenting Sponsor, Thompson Health.

Their support — along with the support of all of our Leadership Ontario sponsors — helps us provide an experience that brings together local leaders, builds connections and gives participants a deeper understanding of the people, organizations and communities that make Ontario County such a great place to live and work.

We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for investing in the next generation of leaders in our community! 💚

Here’s to another great year of learning, connecting and leading!

All packed and ready to welcome Cohort 5!

As our new cohort members open their binders to kick off Day 1, a huge thank you to University of Rochester Medicine Thompson Health, our Presenting Sponsor for Cohort 5. Their generous support makes this journey possible.

Here’s to a great year ahead!

MEMBER MILESTONE MONDAY 🎇 The Venue on Atwater

The Venue on Atwater recently hosted its first wedding, which also happened to be the wedding of Jennifer and Mike, part of the venue's ownership team.

Congratulations, The Venue on Atwater team. We look forward to many more celebrations with you!

The ultimate full-circle moment ✨

Hosting the very first wedding at The Venue on Atwater was extra special, as part of the ownership team, Jennifer and Mike, got married right here in the space they created 🤍

Building and opening this space has been a true labor of love for Jennifer, Mike and Dan (the best man, of course), and getting to celebrate with their closest family and friends was the most surreal feeling.

Follow along as we share our favorite parts of the day along with our dream team of vendors:
