Being part of the WCA is my way of giving back and it is an integral
part of my company’s continued success. We lead the way on so many
important community and business issues. Over a decade ago, we led the
way in the healthcare debate in response to the challenges our healthcare
providers were facing. We provided vision for the transformation of the
I-287 corridor eight years ago—from the Platinum Mile to the Medical Mile—
and now much-needed multi-family housing for the community.
We’ve had one of the best workforce development programs in the
countr y—as rated by the federal government— where we trained
and placed more than 400 candidates into new jobs.

The WCA brings community and business leaders together to focus on
the issues that are important to the continued growth and strength of
Westchester County and the region. And, as members, we really take that
to heart. It truly is about pursuing the greater good for our community.

For over 70 years, WCA has been ahead
of the curve on economic trends
and convening the most influential
leaders to advance proactive policies
and initiatives that foster economic
vitality in the region.
HEALTHCARE AND LIFE SCIENCES: With the leadership
from world-renowned healthcare systems, physician practices, and
businesses, WCA advocates for governmental policies that protect
and strengthen the foundation of our healthcare ecosystem. WCA
develops critical policy recommendations to help reduce the cost of
healthcare in our region. In addition, WCA brands Westchester and the
region as a hub of excellence in life science innovation from biotech
start-ups to global biotech giants.
REAL ESTATE & HOUSING: WCA is at the forefront of creating
the environment for smart planning and development; working with
communities to fill regional housing needs with a specific emphasis on
downtowns and near mass transit; and developing recommendations
and initiatives to stimulate new business growth, including upgrading
our infrastructure, streamlining our government regulations, and
modernizing our transportation network.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: WCA works with key
regional stakeholders to create a sustainable talent ecosystem that
efficiently and effectively matches qualified candidates with
unfilled jobs. This collaborative effort brings in experts from training
providers, employers, and colleges and universities, and promotes
best practices that help organizations to improve their recruitment
and retention results.
DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY: WCA advocates for access to high
quality and reliable fiber broadband and 5G as an essential foundation
to advance innovation and smart growth in our region including:
advancing telemedicine, supporting a growing remote workforce,
creating more connected cities for municipal efficiencies and tax-payer
savings, and enhancing our world-class education system.
