CEO Update: July 24, 2026

Strengthening Community Partnerships

I am pleased to share that we were awarded a $2,000 NSG Collaboration Scholarship through the NY Funders Alliance. These funds will support our efforts to strengthen collaboration and partnerships among nonprofit organizations throughout our region.

Thank you to the NY Funders Alliance for this investment in regional collaboration, and a special thank you to Katie Pieri, Director of the Nonprofit Support Group, for her leadership and commitment to supporting nonprofits. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to using these funds to continue building strong partnerships that benefit our communities.

County EMS Planning Support

As the EMS Program Agency for Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua Counties, we recently reviewed the New York State County EMS Plan Framework and reached out to each county to share how STEMS can support their planning efforts. We offered our expertise in workforce development, education and training, emergency preparedness, community paramedicine, and system assessment. I am proud that our team continues to be recognized as a trusted resource and collaborative partner throughout the Southern Tier.
