\nof NYRA as a nonprofit corporation.<\/p>\n

“This issue is critically important for our entire
\nregion and is one where we will certainly be visible
\nand vocal,” said Jones. “We’re going to invite everyone
\nto join our #healthysaratoga movement to make
\nSaratoga Springs and Saratoga County one of the
\nhealthiest place to live and work.”<\/p>\n

Jones said the Chamber will also “be evaluating
\nwhat we can do to help local employers to find the
\ntalent they need to fill local job openings through
\nour Job Zone and Human Resources Council. We
\nalso expect more great things from our Leadership
\nSaratoga program and our Veterans Business
\nCouncil, as we seek to train the next generation of
\ncommunity leaders and to help Saratoga County’s
\nVeterans.”<\/p>\n
