“TCAD’s success begins with its people. Our board is both talented and diverse, with active members from the business, education, government, and non-profit sectors of our community. Our staff is stronger than at any time in TCAD’s 48-year history, with deep expertise in finance, strategic planning, and many other areas necessary to carry out our mission of building a thriving and sustainable economy that improves the quality of life in Tompkins County.  Our president is a leader among leaders of New York’s other county economic development agencies and is increasingly well positioned to advocate for our needs in Albany as well as here at home. I am optimistic about TCAD and its ability to enhance our business climate, our community, and our quality of life.”
