SYRACUSE 20/20 Inc. is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit coalition of Central New York business and community leaders. The organization was formed ten years ago by leaders in the community who felt strongly that we all must play a role in developing a common agenda for Syracuse that will improve the quality of life and government in our community.
SYRACUSE 20/20 engages in nonpartisan analysis of the issues and promotes innovative, community-based solutions to the community’s opportunities and challenges primarily in the areas of creating a quality community, improving the education system, and modernization our local government structures.
A unique feature of SYRACUSE 20/20 is the community leadership represented on its Board of directors including representatives of the private and non-profit sectors. This diverse group of people brings a high level of energy and enthusiasm for Syracuse and a strong desire to help the city grow and prosper.
