achievements of those individuals and businesses that contribute
substantially to the economic vitality of their communities, thereby
enhancing the economic well-being of the entire Empire State; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
the CV-TEC Division of Champlain Valley Educational Services (CVES) upon

WHEREAS, CV-TEC is the Career and Technical Education Division of
CVES, and is the primary provider of Career and Technical Education and
Adult Literacy programs and services for secondary and post-secondary
students in Clinton and Essex Counties; and
WHEREAS, This dedicated business' commitment to providing dynamic,
high-quality education and technical training has made them a
cornerstone of the North Country's economic success; its exceptional
leadership in workforce development and its vital role in driving
regional economic growth has made CV-TEC a worthy recipient of the 2025
Economic Development Partner of the Year Award; and
WHEREAS, Through innovative training programs like the Aerospace
Coatings Applicator Specialist (ACAS) certification and their
partnership on specialized programs such as welding training at the

and local businesses with the skills and expertise necessary to thrive
in today's evolving job market; and
WHEREAS, In addition to its program development, CV-TEC has shown
steadfast commitment to growing the workforce and enhancing the region's
long-term prosperity; their investment in a new training center and
proactive leadership in key initiatives at the Institute for Advanced

local and State economies, fully confident that it will continue to
enjoy the sparkling successes it has experienced thus far; now,
therefore, be it

the occasion of its designation as recipient of the 2025 Economic
Development Partner of the Year Award by the North Country Chamber of
Commerce; and be it further
