JUNE 2026
THE LEADERSHIP BEHIND OUR GROWTH
As we celebrate another successful year for ILEA NY Metro, we want to recognize the outstanding leadership of Emma Tietze. At the start of her term, Emma set an ambitious goal of surpassing 100 chapter members before term's end. Thanks to her vision, dedication, and the collective efforts of our community, we not only reached that milestone, but exceeded it.
Emma's leadership has been collaborative, grounded, and guided by integrity. She has fostered meaningful connections, empowered community members, and helped strengthen our chapter in ways that will have a lasting impact. We are grateful for her commitment and proud of all that was accomplished under her leadership.
