Those commitments have positioned our region to be the kind of place that can attract one of the largest economic development projects in the nation.” The event also featured a keynote address from Dr. Robert Simmons III, head of Social Impact and STEM Programs at Micron Technology. Dr. Simmons highlighted the company's vision for ensuring its historic investment reaches all in Central New York. Dr. Simmons also spoke about how Micron’s unprecedented and nation-leading community investment framework, in partnership with New York state, reflects Micron’s values and vision to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. "At the Micron Foundation we believe that access to quality STEM education shouldn’t be determined by your ZIP code," said Dr. Robert Simmons III, head of Social Impact and STEM Programs at the Micron Foundation. "This drives our consistent effort to center equitable access to our work but also aligns with Micron Technology’s commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion, and ensuring underrepresented groups have a presence in STEM, and more specifically at Micron Technology." The CenterState CEO Community Visionary Award, sponsored by Wegmans Food Markets, was presented at the event to Le Moyne College for embodying a vision of economic opportunity, and for its leadership and its strategic vision to creating greater access to opportunities for those across our community. “Wegmans proudly recognizes Le Moyne College, and its president, Linda LeMura, for its commitment to Syracuse and the Central New York community,” said Evelyn Ingram, director of Community Engagement, at Wegmans. “Le Moyne’s collaborative engagement with community institutions, business and government has enabled it to be at the forefront of the Syracuse Surge initiative with Erie 21, a program with a mission to support the innovation economy while addressing Syracuse’s persistent poverty issues and workforce needs. Le Moyne is also leading entrepreneurial development initiatives through the Keenan Center of Entrepreneurship, creating pipelines for talent in our community.” CenterState CEO thanks the 2022 Economic Champions sponsors: Presenting Sponsor: Fust Charles Chambers, LLP Community Visionary Award: Wegmans Food & Pharmacy, Inc.
