RECAP - CANYS ‘Winter Symposium' provided insights, tools and networking for attendees.
With over 35 in attendance, the 2020 Winter Symposium in Albany was an excellent forum that allowed participants to network with NYS Legislative leaders and fellow chamber professionals, learn from key US Chamber staff on their innovative workforce development intiative, Talent Pipeline Management (TPM) and hear from the Business Council of NYS, Unshackle Upstate, and the Empire Center about the specific challenges being faced in this legislative session that will have significant impacts on businesses across the state.
In addition to sharing some photos from the conference, presentations on the TPM from the US Chamber and the Buffalo Niagara Partnership are being shared and are available via email. Simply email Peter Aust at peter.l.aust@outlook.com and request a copy of the powerpoint presentation be sent to you. Don't hesitate to take a moment to refresh yourself (if you attended) or enlighten yourself (if you were unable to attend) with these presentations.
