The New York State Technology Enterprise Corp. (NYSTEC) located at Griffiss Technology and Business Park recently presented the Project Fibonacci® Foundation of Rome with a $10,000 Gold Sponsorship check in support of the foundation’s upcoming 2024 STEAM Leadership Conference scheduled for August 4-10. The check was presented to foundation chairman Andrew Drozd by NYSTEC’s Jasminka Husic, Chief Financial Officer and Kevin Owens, President and CEO.
Both Husic and Owens expressed their appreciation of the foundation’s efforts to bring STEAM leadership and entrepreneurial education to Mohawk Valley youth and young adults. “As in 2023, NYSTEC’s support as a Gold Sponsor is exemplary of community partnership and synergy that will help us realize our broader vision of growing the local STEM workforce and adding to positive community momentum,” said Drozd.
To date, the foundation has raised nearly $75,000 thanks to the contributions by NYSTEC and other local organizations, including private donors. NYSTEC’s sponsorship will be used to help underwrite scholarships for the cohort of students attending this year’s conference, focusing on serving the needs of underserved or underrepresented youth.
