LEADERSHIP OSWEGO COUNTY - Class of 2021
What is Leadership
Oswego County?
Leadership Oswego County is a community program administered by SUNY Oswego’s Office of
Business and Community Relations. The Leadership Oswego County program explores
community trusteeship, leadership skills, current issues and networking with a diverse group of
community residents. Key community members mentor and share with participants about the
skills and knowledge needed to be effective leaders. Graduates of the program are better
prepared to serve the community in the roles of board member, citizen, employee or volunteer
with organizations that serve Central New York.

Leadership Oswego County prepares a select group of county residents to become the
community stewards of the future. This group embarks on a nine-month course on Oswego
County and its resources, vital issues of today, and visioning for tomorrow.

The MISSION of Leadership Oswego County is to educate committed citizens to become a
well-informed, engaged, and diverse network of community stewards.

The VISION of Leadership Oswego County is to develop a group of leaders who will apply their
collective experiences and skills to broaden our community's vision and improve the quality of
life for all Oswego County residents.

employees by developing their leadership potential and organizational and problem-solving
skills, while providing access to a broad network of community professionals and resources.

and knowledgeable group of graduates who are prepared to become trustees of our
community’s future.

Our PARTICIPANTS gain a greater understanding of the role of “community steward”
through exploring issues and opportunities relevant to Oswego County.

Congratulations
Leadership Oswego County
Class of 2021!
Dear Leadership Oswego County 2021 Class Graduates,

As the program year draws to a close and we prepare to meet in person for the first time at
Reflection Day, I am so impressed at how resilient and adaptable this group has been. The
entire 2021 LOC class was virtual, but that did not get in the way of this class's effort, camaraderie,
and enthusiasm!

The 28th year of Leadership Oswego County marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new
and wholly reimagined Leadership Oswego County. As the famous adage states, “Never let a good
crisis go to waste,” because it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. The
Leadership Oswego County Class of 2021 blazed a new trail for the program. As we gear up for
next year, we plan to combine virtual and in-person classes — allowing for more flexibility for busy
professionals while continuing the program's legacy.

COVID-19 and the impacts of quarantine have been pivotal times in our history. Our communities
have struggled as schools and businesses closed during months of quarantine, and we all made
personal sacrifices to protect each other's health and safety. Life as we knew it has changed, and
as a nation, we will continue to face unprecedented challenges as we combat this crisis.

Leadership in the time of COVID-19 has made us reexamine what we hold most dear —
community and our sense of belonging to something greater than ourselves. As we forge a future
that will be unlike anything we have seen before, it will require the creativity, strength, resilience,
and compassion that I hope you've developed during our time together.

As Leadership Oswego County graduates, your leadership skills are now needed more than ever.
You will be called upon to lead in these uncertain times and will need to make decisions with
imperfect information and where circumstances and directives change quickly and without
warning.

As graduates of Leadership Oswego County, I hope you are all eager to answer the call, “What
positive contributions can I make to leave the world a better place?” I hope you will be a steward
of our community and a steward for Leadership Oswego County as you mentor and support the
leaders that will come after you. Lastly, I encourage you to advocate for good citizenry and to be a
voice that promotes an inclusive and healthy community for all.

All my best,
Chena L. Tucker, Director
Office of Business and Community Relations
SUNY Oswego
