AmeriCU's D’Imperio Graduates From Leadership Mohawk Valley

ROME, N.Y. – AmeriCU Credit Union's Kristy D’Imperio, Assistant Vice President of the Member Contact Center, has graduated from the Leadership Mohawk Valley. Leadership Mohawk Valley is a civic engagement program for community leaders that promotes change and stability within the community. Participants build their leadership skills, gain knowledge about community issues, and explore the Mohawk Valley. In order to graduate from the program, participants have to complete a special project. This year the class elected to work with Center for Life and Recovery (CFLR) to build a Recovery Art Café/Youth Clubhouse. Participants fundraised, painted walls, and furnished the multi-purpose space for CFLR to offer services, programming, and events to the community in a safe environment. “Leadership Mohawk Valley inspired me to broaden my knowledge and deepen my involvement as a community leader,” says D’Imperio. “The course offered experiences that helped me understand the interconnectedness of our community and how active engagement can create a positive impact.”
