Our Project

The 2013 Finger Lakes Leadership class project is a buy local campaign that will highlight area businesses throughout Seneca and Ontario Counties. This year’s participants have developed a lesson plan and will be presenting in three area middle school classrooms to promote the value in buying local products and supporting local businesses. This curriculum will include the purchase, distribution and sampling of local goods highlighting the Canandaigua, Geneva and Seneca County region. Remaining funds will be used to develop a Finger Lakes Leadership Scholarship that will afford an employee from an area business the opportunity to participate in the 2013-2014 Finger Lakes Leadership program.
