Rochester profile takes off

The Rochester Business Alliance joined Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, Rochester Mayor Robert Duffy and leaders of Greater Rochester Enterprise and the Greater Rochester Visitors' Association in unveiling the July issue of US Airways Magazine, featuring a 72-page profile on Rochester.

About 60 community and business leaders attended an event at the Lodge at Woodcliff on June 27 to celebrate the release of this publication. It began appearing this week aboard the carrier's 4,386 daily flights serving 200 cities in 36 countries.

Magazine editors said the Rochester feature differs from their typical community profile, a regular feature in the monthly airline magazine, which normally focuses on a region's tourism and lifestyle. While "Profile: Rochester" does pay homage to the region's many cultural and quality-of-life offerings, such as our parks and museums and the Erie Canal, it also offers includes an in-depth look at economic development and the region's employers.

"This article is exactly what the business community needed - a chance to showcase on an international level the many successful enterprises already here as well as the emerging industries that are our future," said Sandra A. Parker, president and CEO of the Rochester Business Alliance. "We're particularly proud to see so many Rochester Business Alliance members highlighted on these pages."
