The next generation of philanthopic leaders
Our Mission: To promote and encourage the spirit of philanthropy and volunteerism among emerging leaders in the Central New York Community
Emerging Leaders, a group of the United Way of CNY, promotes and encourages the spirit of philanthropy and volunteerism among emerging leaders in the Central New York Community
As an Emerging Leader and representative of Upstate Medical University, you can attend leadership and community education programs and volunteer events, and network with other leaders from companies across the greater Syracuse area.
Become an Upstate Emerging Leader through the Community Giving Campaign. Select "Emerging Leaders" and donate a minimum of $250 to the United Way of CNY.
Upstate Medical University offers a limited number of scholarships to employees for the first year of membership as an Emerging Leader.
