Dan Olivadoti's Summary

I have recently returned to the Mohawk Valley area after spending the last 13 years in Syracuse NY. During the time I spent in that region, I accomplished a great many things:

I served on the Board of Directors with several organizations, including the UpDowntowners of Syracuse, Syracuse Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees), CNY SPaRC and CNY Edge.

I was selected as one of 40 out of over 400 candidates for the initial Ambassador program to represent the City of Syracuse from 2008 through 2009 with the "It's All Here Syracuse" campaign. This was an initiative that was supported by Senator John DeFrancisco.

I founded and was president of two major networking organizations in the area; Syracuse Young Professionals (SYP) and Mohawk Valley Young Professionals (MVYP). Together, these groups worked to help over 500 members connect and network between the two metropolitan areas. I was featured in cover stories in the Observer-Dispatch and the Mohawk Valley Business Journal. Features were written in Syracuse New Times, The Good News Paper and Scotsman Pennysaver and I appeared on Time Warner News 10 Now (YNN), WKTV, WSYR (both TV and radio) and WIBX. SYP co-hosted the first (and, to my knowledge, the only) "Teddy Bear Toss" with the Syracuse Crunch organization to benefit the US Marines' "Toys For Tots" program in 2004. MVYP was the sponsor and host of the Hanna Park Concert series for "Utica Monday Nite" in 2005.

I was a founding member of the Central New York Community Foundation's "PIE Project" (now known as the "Future Fund") and was involved in the planning of the initial 40 Below Summit. SYP and MVYP were also the only local young adult networking groups to be invited to Bob Congel's Savannah Dhu retreat to get an inside look at the then newly-announced DestiNY USA project (which is finally coming to fruition).
