This Roundtable aims to cultivate an environment where professionals of color can forge significant relationships, engage in discussions pertinent to our experiences in both business and non-profit sectors, and enhance the visibility of multicultural individuals in Tompkins County. Our Roundtables serve as peer affinity groups, providing a confidential setting for sharing insights, seeking advice, and obtaining mentorship.
Join us at SouthWorks: the former Morse Chain/Emerson Power Transmission Factory, which through adaptive reuse will become a mixed-use neighborhood. This month's roundtable host is Melissa Suchodolski, President of USC Builds, and a member of the SouthWorks development team. Site tours are available after the roundtable for those interested; please allot an additional hour for the tour.
Light refreshments will be available.
This roundtable is specifically designed for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian individuals. While we encourage support and promotion from allies, participation is reserved for those who share this identity.
Thank you our to host Cayuga Health, to the Community Foundation of Tompkins County for supporting our Unity in Shades Roundtable; and to our Series Sponsors; BorgWarner, M&T Bank, and Rasa Spa.
