🔥 Leadership in Action 🔥

“So, how are things going today?”

For Bob Bailey, the answer is grounded in growth, grit, and a whole lot of resilience.

“Things are going great. We have ambitious clients, an engaged leadership team, and the best staff I’ve ever worked with.”

But it didn’t happen by accident.

Building a business from scratch comes with storms — some unexpected, some self-inflicted. The difference-maker?

👉 Staying in the ring when things get tough
👉 Having the courage to keep going
👉 Trusting that the challenge is shaping a stronger version of yourself

“Grit and resilience can lead you to a better version of yourself.”

That’s leadership.

Local Manufacturing!

Our class had an incredible Manufacturing Day experience—kicking off with a presentation by Evelyn Sabina, followed by a panel discussion with JCC, NES, and IDA. We also toured MTI, Cimolai, and Cutco, getting an inside look at how these local companies operate.

One highlight: the sub-arc welding demonstration! We learned about welding techniques and the growing job opportunities in the field. Did you know there’s currently a shortage of 300,000 welders nationwide? Skills like these are critical to keeping manufacturing strong in Cattaraugus County and beyond.

Big thanks to all our hosts and presenters for sharing their time and knowledge!
