Networking Database
In the spirit of nurturing homegrown talent, both in Hammondsport and across the country, we have launched a career-focused networking database of Hammondsport alumni. The concept is to put individuals seeking career advice, networking or resume help in touch with other Hammondsport alumni that are looking to fill job openings and provide mentorship.
Fill out the Networking Database Form and our Historian will put people in touch based on information submitted. You can stay up to date with this endeavor on the Updates section of the website or reach out to our Historian, Stephen Sable (Class of 2006), personally at stephensable6@gmail.com. Stephen will strive to post updates and success stories monthly!
