OSWEGO, N.Y. — Leadership Oswego County (LOC) announced that amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it plans to go virtual for the first time with its Class of 2021.
LOC is a SUNY Oswego-administered, business-sponsored program that seeks to develop Owego County people to become community leaders.
LOC contends this year’s online format will appeal to busy professionals with its flexible program schedule, including lessons on self-discovery and leadership, panel discussions with local leaders, insights into the county’s strengths and challenges, and the opportunity to develop a “robust” professional network.
