About the Chapter
The Upstate New York Chapter, in the Syracuse, New York area, was founded October 2007.
We are working with a theme of linking local industry, academia, business, and military to enhance economic development and keep the technical talent pipeline full. We are focused on energizing our current membership base and reaching into the community to forge partnerships in each of those areas.
--Leslie Smith, President, Upstate New York Chapter, May 2008

Supporting the Troops
Upstate New York WID members are committed to supporting the troops by recognizing the sacrifices made by those who serve and their families and finding ways to show appreciation. Fort Drum, which is home to the Army’s 10th Mountain Division, is located in the area the chapter covers, and like most communities, Syracuse and the surrounding area is also home to a large number of Guard and Reserve members.
A Part of the Community
The chapter enjoys a strong partnership with the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce and shares the mission of strengthening the defense industry in the community by bringing awareness of the industry and the quality of life in Upstate New York to members of the defense and national security profession.
Representing the Chapter
Chapter President Leslie Smith represented WID at the Chamber Association of New York's "New York Day in Washington" May 14-15, 2008. This was an opportunity to give voice to the mission of supporting the troops and bringing defense talent and dollars to the region.
