CLIMB Mentors Sought

Rochester Chamber’s CLIMB (Chamber Leadership Initiative: Mentoring for Business) program is the first of its kind in our area, and has been recognized nationally as a ground-breaking talent development and engagement strategy. Since the program’s inception in 2017, CLIMB has:
-Exposed 75 young leaders to a wealth of business knowledge, strategy, and experience in the Rochester/Finger Lakes region and beyond.
-Created opportunities for collaboration and growth through relationship-building and cross-industry awareness.
-Helped young leaders develop personally and professionally through a focused year-long curriculum.
-Explored ways that young leaders can impact some of our community’s toughest challenges.
-Created the FLAC (Future Leaders’ Advisory Council), to further the spirit of progress and innovation at Rochester Chamber.

This year, CLIMB seeks to harness even more of the power of this region’s great minds with an added one-to-one mentoring component. One established leader will be matched to each CLIMB participant, for candid virtual conversations addressing a number of topics over the course of 10 months.
CLIMB is looking for Business and Community Leaders who are committed to the Rochester/Finger Lakes region’s growth and prosperity, and who are willing to engage in a two-way conversation with young leaders, to the benefit of all involved.
