ALBANY, N.Y. (Sept. 21, 2021) – Discover Albany has announced the newest addition to its Board of Directors, Shannon Licygiewicz, General Manager of the Albany Capital Center (ACC). Licygiewicz joins the 2021 inductees Trent Griffin-Braaf of Tech Valley Shuttle, Tammis Groft of the Albany Institute of History & Art, and Linda Neil from the Holiday Inn Express Wolf Road, all of whom were elected to the board earlier this year.

I am thrilled to be part of this amazing group of individuals who provide such a great service to our destination and look forward to being part of the future of Albany!”
