WETM-TV – NYSSCPA Financial Literacy Partnership Announcement
The New York State Society of CPAs is pleased to announce a new financial literacy partnership with Elmira-Corning television news leader, WETM-TV. Beginning January 2017, NYSSCPA Southern Tier chapter members will appear weekly on the station to educate and empower the public with the knowledge and tools that will allow them to make sound financial decisions from childhood to retirement.
WETM-TV is an NBC-affiliated television station and a ratings stronghold for the Central and Western Twin Tiers of Southern Upstate New York and Northern Pennsylvania. The station is available via its local broadcast, cable television, Dish Network, and Direct TV, and website, www.mytwintiers.com.
Southern Tier members interested in participating in future television segments can contact Maya Lindsay, mlindsay@nysscpa.org, or Michael P. Moi, mmoi@nysscpa.org.
The Southern Tier is located on the Pennsylvanian border of New York State, lying northwest of New York City and southwest of the State Capitol of Albany. Containing Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Delaware, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins counties, the region boasts some of the state’s finest natural resources and agriculture, as well as significant educational institutions and readiness for manufacturing companies.
In addition to housing both a booming tourism industry and dozens of prominent universities such as Binghamton and Cornell, the Southern Tier is also the location of many businesses that employ over 350,000 highly-skilled workers.
While mostly known for industrial machinery and materials processing, and contributing to the electronics, imaging, and simulation industries, businesses choose the Southern Tier for its proximity to the marketplace, abundant natural resources, and its extremely well-educated workforce.
