The past two years have been a whirlwind of adversity. Through it all, there have been standouts in our region who have shown grit, resilience, and leadership. TDC wants to celebrate those in the Clinton County industrial community who show those qualities and inspire others to persevere. These individuals not only contribute to local growth and success by impacting their workplace, but their community and beyond.  

The goal of this new video series, “TDC Groundbreakers” is twofold. The series aims to acknowledge the difficulties our community has faced through the pandemic, and to highlight the stories of those who have persevered and supported their teams and community through creative solutions, leadership, and strength of character. We have chosen a video series for this project to authentically learn about our community members and their pathways; pathways that can be extremely influential to others as they are deciding on college, changing jobs, or beginning their career. We will be interviewing a select number of nominees, starting in July, and finishing in September. Content will be published on our social media channels including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. They will also be featured on our website, tdcnny.com.

There are so many stories that are among us, and we want to hear them. If you know of individuals, teams or departments that are groundbreakers/pioneers/superstars etc., please nominate them as a “TDC Groundbreaker.” Please submit one nomination form per nominee, there is no limit to submissions.

Guidelines

• When is the deadline? Nomination deadline is July 1
• Who can be nominated? Our goal is to focus on individuals working in the local industrial parks. Nominees should be those currently working in Air Industrial Park, Banker Road Industrial Park or Champlain Industrial Park.
• When will the series be produced? With our current timeline, interviews will begin mid July and will continue throughout the summer. We hope to launch the video series in the fall (2022).
• How will the participants be chosen? As mentioned, we prefer to feature community members that are working in one of the industrial parks, but we are open to all nominations. The TDC staff will choose about 8 to 10 participants.
