We are proud to celebrate Dr. Andrea Ogunwumi, CEO of the Economic Opportunity Program, Inc. of Chemung and Schuyler Counties, on being recognized as an America 250 Community Hero.
Andrea was honored during the America 250 Community Heroes Award Ceremony hosted by Congressman Nicholas A. Langworthy on August 25 at the Clemens Center.
The recognition celebrated individuals whose service, leadership, and commitment have made a lasting difference in their communities. Andrea was recognized for her work improving lives throughout the Southern Tier through programs addressing healthcare access, food security, housing, youth development, and other critical community needs.
The recognition also highlighted her leadership in initiatives such as ACCEL(a partnership with Arnot Health-Chemung County Public Health-EOP, Inc. and LECOM underwritten by Excellus BCBS), which is helping expand access to preventive healthcare and connect families with needed services, as well as her continued commitment to collaboration and community partnership.
For Andrea, this honor reflects something that has always been central to her leadership at EOP: bringing people and organizations together to create opportunities, strengthen families, and help our communities thrive.
Please join us in congratulating Andrea on this well-deserved recognition and thanking her for her continued service to our community.
