Saratoga Business Leader Appointed by Governor to SUNY Empire Council

SARATOGA SPRINGS — J. Gregory Connors, president and CEO of the Saratoga Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), was appointed last week by Governor Kathy Hochul to the SUNY Empire University Council.

Connors, who has begun a seven-year term, was chosen for the post after partnering with the university on several recent initiatives in his capacity with the SEDC.

University Councils provide advice and counsel to each SUNY president and their administration. They assist the SUNY Board of Trustees in choosing presidents for each SUNY school and, once chosen, presidents work at their own discretion with their University Councils on matters including university programs, budgets, enrollments, facilities, and student housing.
