🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Priya Winston, Transitions' Director of Curriculum and Clinical Excellence, on graduating from the Leadership Capital Region program through the Capital Region Chamber!

Over the past nine months, Priya joined 44 professionals from across the Capital Region in an intensive leadership development experience focused on strengthening leadership skills, exploring community challenges, and collaborating on projects that make a lasting impact. One such project included the rehabilitation of Sojourn House in Schenectady, helping to create a more welcoming environment for individuals and families in need.

As a leader at The Arc Lexington's Transitions program, Priya's commitment to learning, collaboration, and community engagement helps strengthen our organization and expand opportunities for the people we support. The insights, relationships, and experiences gained through this program will continue to benefit our mission for years to come.

We are incredibly proud of Priya's dedication to professional growth and her passion for creating positive change throughout our community. Please join us in congratulating her on this outstanding achievement! 👏

These events are a great opportunity to strengthen our commitment to wellness while connecting people with resources that support them both at work and in their everyday lives.

A sincere thank you to our community partners for helping make the day informative, engaging, and impactful:
