Why Attend Leadercast Greater Valley Chamber?
In line with this year’s theme, “Lead Yourself”, we encourage you to attend and bring all key leaders in your organization. 

This gives everyone the opportunity to invest in themselves. They will learn to lead themselves and that will allow them to lead others more effectively. 

Take the opportunity to remove yourself from your normal business environment; it will free you up from everyday distractions to network, learn and be inspired.

The change of scenery often ignites creativity and helps leaders look at their businesses and lives in a different light. We believe spending time with attendees, vendors and experts, plus a staff whose only focus is to ensure you have a deeper level of engagement, creates a life-changing experience.

HR and CEU credits available.

Our sponsors are a part of our Leadercast culture. We are grateful to partner with businesses that are truly leaders worth following.

Basement Systems employees begin The Big Build at Ansonia Nature Center

Basement Systems, Inc. CEO Larry Janesky and his employees lay the groundwork Friday for a new playground at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center.

Members of the Valley United Way's Corporate Volunteer Council will volunteer Saturday and Sunday to construct the wood and metal play scape.

The 25-year old playground was demolished in April after a child was injured by a large splinter. 
The play scape will feature five towers connected by bridges, a giant slide, and an accessible area for children with disabilities, among other amenities.
Work is slated to be completed by Sunday evening.



Stay tuned for a story in The Valley Voice newsletter next week.

Employees of Basement Systems to build playground at Ansonia Nature Center

Community service project scheduled in July

I took this photo April 19 when the playground was being demolished. The wooden playscape had been determined hazardous after a child was injured by a large splinter.

ANSONIA - Valley United Way’s Corporate Volunteer Council is celebrating its 20^th anniversary in fine tradition, by making the greatest positive impact in the Valley.  

When Alison Rubelmann, Executive Director of the Ansonia Nature Center, was guest speaker at a recent CVC monthly meeting, and explained the epic need for help in building their playground, the CVC knew it had to respond

At about the same time, Basement Systems of Seymour expressed interest in a major community service project for which its employees could contribute.

“When Basement Systems reached out to me to ask for ideas for a major project their company could tackle, I immediately thought of Ansonia Nature & Recreation Center, because their playground had been unexpectedly taken down; there was a mammoth need for a new playground,” CVC Director Pat Tarasovic said.

So Larry Janesky’s going to lead the gigantic effort to build a new playground because, well, that’s how Larry models his everyday life. Larry is a leader. He lives his life fully, by welcoming opportunities to share his passion and vision. People truly value his inspiration, and it is in this spirit that his army of volunteers will march onto the ANRC site and build.

“Basement Systems is happy to support the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center’s effort to rebuild its playground,” said Larry, CEO and founder of the Seymour-based company. 

“We know this is going to help a lot of kids, so we can’t wait to get our employees out there and get to work.”

The playground is scheduled to be rebuilt over one weekend in July. 

Other CVC companies will join together and lend their support by doing some trail work and other volunteer projects on the Nature Center grounds while Larry’s team of talented volunteers provides the leadership, muscle and building expertise. 

At the end of the weekend, a new playground will be standing, one built to last the next 25 years.

As the sun sets, the volunteers will walk away with the greatest pride, knowing that they have strengthened their community and given the gift of caring. Then, there will be those priceless smiles on our children’s faces, and those will never fade.

Basement Systems is another in a long line of companies to contribute enhancements to the Valley community. Fellow CVC member companies such as GE, Unilever, Prudential, Pitney Bowes, Nielsen Company and Perkin Elmer have spent countless hours clearing trails, building fences, gardens, and swales, and spreading mulch to improve the appearance and quality of life in the Valley.
