About this Event

CenterState CEO’s Economic Champions event honors the outstanding businesses and organizations that are contributing to the growth of the Central New York economy. Through new jobs, new business ventures, expansions and investments, DEI commitments, company milestones and more, they are part of the team that’s driving the region’s progress. From startups to well-established businesses, this collective success takes champions at every level, and we’ll recognize their outstanding achievements and impact.

Like any great team, winning takes preparation and dedication to the pursuit of a shared goal. But champions aren’t defined by wins alone. It’s the grit of putting in the work and knowing when to refocus, recover and aim higher, even in times of setbacks, to reach the next level of success.

Event Highlights:

  • Keynote remarks from Syracuse University Women’s Basketball Head Coach Felicia Legette-Jack. Coach Legette-Jack will share her own personal journey of recovery and rebuilding, and how it mirrors Syracuse’s current trajectory. Learn more.
  • Hear from CenterState CEO President Rob Simpson.
  • Featuring CenterState CEO’s Community Visionary Award.
