PUTNAM COUNTY, N.Y. -- Putnam county resident Stacey Tompkins, president of Tompkins Landscaping Corp., recently graduated from the Academy for Entrepreneurial Excellence in Westchester.
Tompkins was one of eight members of the class of 2014 who received a certificate at the graduation dinner at Sam’s Gedney Way in White Plains.
“I learned new information that will help make my company more competitive in the marketplace,” Tompkins said. “I would highly recommend this course to a small business owner that is looking to step up their game.”
The Academy is a partnership between Westchester Community College’s Gateway to Entrepreneurship and The Business Council of Westchester. The local businessmen and women spent 12 weeks immersed in sessions dedicated to bringing their business to the next level.
