Air National Guard Showcase in Rome Explores Future Possibilities

By Mike Jaquays, Daily Sentinel

ROME — The New York Air National Guard Showcase 2025 held Saturday was about more than just the aircraft seen on the runway, said Heather Hage, president and CEO of Griffiss Institute.

“It’s really about possibility,” she explained. “It’s about the spark that comes when a student gets close to an aircraft for the first time. Or when a young person realizes their interest in science and technology can lead to a real and amazing career right here in our own back yard. At Griffiss Institute, we are focused on making those possibilities real.” . . .
