The Leadership Greater Valley Program now has an alumni association and a state proclamation recognizing its work following its first alumni reception held on September 10 at Scinto Towers in Shelton. Dozens of graduates attended the inaugural session with graduates coming from all classes dating back to the original 1996 group.
It was both a festive and inspiring night as state legislators Linda Gentile and Jason Perillo showed up with a proclamation from the State of Connecticut recognizing the program for its work down through the years for recruiting training and placing volunteer leaders throughout the Valley area.
