“As someone who is not from Rochester but moved here as a young professional, LR provided me a diverse foundational awareness and understanding of the social, political and economic aspects of the Greater Rochester community. Additionally, the friendships and other relationships that I have established through my past and present experiences with LR continue to ber personally and professionally invaluable”
“Rochester is full of community warriors with untapped potential and not fully realized talents. You can see it in how people display their passion and commitment. I am constantly surrounded by inspiration and it makes me proud and hopeful for my community’s current and future successes”
“Leadership Rochester was a very eye-opening experience. I really thought I knew about Rochester, then I found out I hadn’t a clue. Our day of ‘Building Common Ground’ was very emotional, and brought out many different feelings from empathy, to sadness and anger. I left the day not being able to talk, I needed to process it all“
