NORWICH – The Leadership Chenango Class of 2018 was introduced last Thursday evening at the Leadership Chenango Kick-off dinner, where Chairman of NBT Bancorp Martin Dietrich was presented the 2017 Harry Tecklenburg Leadership Award.

The Tecklenburg Award is given biennially to an individual who demonstrates strong leadership traits in the community––the same way the late Harry Tecklenburg, general manager of Procter and Gamble, is remembered as having.

Dietrich – a Norwich native and graduate of Colgate University – was elected Chairman of NBT Bancorp in May of 2016 after serving as President and CEO for 10 years. His community leadership roles include the creation of the Norwich Building Together Foundation, renovation of Norwich’s East and West Parks, and the Norwich Streetscape Project.

Dietrich is in his seventh year of service on the Regional Economic Development Council of the Southern Tier and is a former member of the Commerce Chenango and United Health Services boards of directors.

Also honored at Thursday evening’s dinner were the Leadership Chenango Class of 2018 and their sponsors, for exhibiting endless potential as future leaders in the community.

The Leadership Chenango Class of 2018 and their sponsors are listed as follows: Zach Williams, Blueox Corporation; Karey Foster, Casella Waste Management; Kathy Christophersen, Chobani; Lindsay Hodge & Taylor Zieno, Golden Artist Colors; Brianna Curley, Hospice & Palliative Care of Chenango County; Len Chinski, Sonya Houston & Paul Mereness, NBT Bank; Sierra Christian, Julie Lanfair, Luke Marvin & April Reese, Norwich-An Alvogen Company; Jennifer Oliver, Norwich City School District; Michelle Day, Teresa Parrella & Stephanie Van Hoesen, Raymond Corporation; Sharon Vesely, The Place; Stacy Thompson, UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital and John Antonowicz, Wilson Funeral Home.

The dinner also featured keynote speaker Charlie Andrews, operations manager at Norwich Pharmaceuticals – an Alvogen Company.

The Leadership Chenango program was created by The Chenango Foundation in 1988 and initiated by business representatives, community leaders, and government representatives as a means of developing future leaders in the area.
