Who We Are

STEG held its annual full memebership meeting at Elmira College on December 12th at Elmira College. We are grateful for our partnership with the College, Dr. Charles Lindsay, and his hospitality.


This year's keynote featured an update from Arnot Health President and CEO, Jonathan Lawrence. We would also like to thank Congressman Nick Langworthy, Assemblyman Phil Palmesano, and City Manager Mike Collins for their updates.


We appreciate all of the support that we have received in making 2023 a successful year. We look forward to 2024, and wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday season!

The STEG 2023 Annual Report is now available.


As always, we thank our investors for your continued support. This year we have continued to build upon the strategies that we have set out to implement from our ENGAGE 2026 campaign. As we head into 2024, we look forward to expanding our projects and business relationships that we have developed over the past year.
