Connecting the dots is truly my favorite part of the work I do!
I’m often asked what "strategic partnerships" actually look like in practice. Sometimes, it’s as simple as making sure two incredible leaders are in the same room.
I loved connecting Carrie Byrne Putelo (Owner & Editor of Mohawk Valley Living) to Karen Knavel (President and CEO of Pathfinder Village (Community for Down syndrome).
Pathfinder Village is such an amazing community doing vital, life-changing work for individuals with Down syndrome. When you pair a mission like that with a storyteller like Carrie, who has such a deep pulse on our region, the entire community wins!
