This marks the second consecutive year the Foundation has earned this prestigious title, solidifying its reputation as a top employer in the region. The award was presented at the CNY Business Journal’s annual Best Places to Work event on September 9, 2024, held at the beautiful Timber Banks Golf Club in Baldwinsville. Surrounded by fellow honorees and business leaders, the Community Foundation celebrated this honor, which speaks to its strong organizational culture and commitment to staff well-being.
