SRI: Capital Region CEO Confidence In Comparison To Other Regions

By Staff Report | Business
SARATOGA SPRINGS – The largest chambers in Capital Region met Tuesday morning to hear and discuss the findings of Siena College Research Institute’s (SRI) survey which included the perceptions of CEO confidence in the overall New York economic marketplace, both in terms of their present assessment as well as for a year ahead, at the State of the Region Breakfast meeting. Polling for the study began in the fall of 2007 across the state of New York and questioned CEOs of private for-profit companies with sales from $5 million to $200 million. There were 157 respondents from the Capital Region. “I’m very happy to come to you, to my home area, the Capital Region today because I’ve been out to Buffalo this year, to Rochester, I’ve been to Syracuse and really the best news this year, is here in the Capital Region,” SRI Director Don Levy said. “Where we see CEOs across Upstate (New York) are at about a break even perspective here in the Capital Region, we see that the majority of CEOs feel as though things are improving, that the economy is getting better in NY State as far as our Capital Region CEOs see it,” Levy said. Presidents of local chambers were in attendance including Todd Shimkus of The Saratoga County Chamber.
