Helping Stamford claim a bright future
After becoming executive director of the Stamford Partnership in October 2019, Jon Winkel promised “a queue of cutting-edge projects.”
The group was able to form relationships with an array of other organizations and individuals that, Winkel said, further raised the Stamford Partnership”™s profile and underscored how important it is to the city and the region, including initiatives like “dining bonds,” that sold gift certificates to local restaurants at 85% of face value.
They also reclaimed the Fairfield County Business Council”™s Leadership Program, rebranded to Leadership Fairfield County, allowing mid- to senior-level professionals and politicians exploring a wide variety of issues facing the city and Fairfield County, along with introducing SWIFI, a high-speed public Wi-Fi system in key areas throughout the downtown and central business areas, and TechFWD, a new workforce development and digital skill-building program.
