Established in 1971 in Oneida County, the Mohawk Valley Frontiers Club stands as a distinguished civic service organization committed to providing essential programs and events for the betterment of the Utica/Rome community. Our initiatives range from senior programs fostering leadership and community meals to youth-focused endeavors encompassing educational trips, presentations, internships, and developmental activities for our junior frontiers. Upholding our motto of “Service,” our dedicated members contribute tirelessly to serve the community’s needs on a daily basis.
During this momentous occasion, we will be honoring two esteemed community members for their outstanding contributions:
Marquis Phillips
Marquis Phillips, the current Codes Commissioner and Director of City Initiatives, brings a wealth of experience and dedication to our community. Graduating from Buffalo State College, his journey from a former Proctor quarterback to a sports reporter for the Observer Dispatch and later, his engagement in issue advocacy and governmental roles, exemplifies his commitment to service.
Jennifer Woodman
Jennifer Woodman, a devoted mother of three and an advocate for cancer research, holds a significant role at the Community Foundation. As a parent volunteer for the Mohawk Valley Junior Frontiers, she exemplifies dedication and commitment to nurturing our youth while contributing significantly to community initiatives.
Moreover, the Friends of the Frontiers Award will be bestowed upon Alpha Kappa Alpha’s graduate chapter Nu Psi Omega. For over a century, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has been a stalwart in advocating for Education, Health, Global Concerns, and Family. Nu Psi Omega Chapter, since its establishment in 1981, has diligently upheld the organization’s mission by actively engaging in numerous impactful activities, including scholarship programs, local school initiatives, and community revitalization projects.
