In this episode of Cultivate CNY, we’re joined by Evelyn Ingram, Director of Community and Media Relations for Wegmans Food Markets—a trusted leader whose authentic, people-first approach has made her a cornerstone of the Syracuse community.
Through her work with Wegmans, the United Way, and countless local organizations, Evelyn has built partnerships, guided teams through challenges, and championed causes that keep Central New York strong. From serving as a steady public voice during the pandemic to uplifting initiatives that foster collaboration and compassion, her impact reaches far beyond the workplace.
In this conversation, we explore Evelyn’s journey, her signature “Evelyn-esque” style of engagement, and the moments that continue to fuel her commitment to service. Looking ahead, she shares insights into exciting projects and partnerships on the horizon—and why she believes the future of Central New York will be shaped by those willing to show up and do the work.
Whether you’re passionate about leadership, inspired by service, or simply curious about the everyday actions that strengthen community, this episode will leave you motivated to lead with heart and purpose.
