Introducing “Open Doors” – A New Video Series Celebrating Our Neighbors!

At CNY’s Open House and New York Sash, we believe that behind every business, every neighborhood, and every gathering in Central New York, there’s a story worth sharing. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce and What’s Upstate to launch a brand-new video series: “Open Doors.”

Open Doors will shine a light on the positive, inspiring, and heartfelt stories happening all around us. From local businesses making a difference, to volunteers going above and beyond, to everyday people doing extraordinary things — this series is all about celebrating the good news in our community.

Each video will be led by New York Sash CEO Jill Hayes and feature Greater Utica Chamber Executive Director Kari Puleo visiting with individuals, businesses, and organizations who are opening doors for others and making CNY a better place to live, work, and grow.
