Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES District Superintendent Jo Anne L. Antonacci was selected as one of Rochester Business Journal’s ICON Honors recipients for 2022. The awards recognize exceptional area business leaders who have moved their organizations forward by making a difference to the community.
“I am honored and humbled to be included among the 2022 RBJ ICON Honorees,” she said. “This recognition is a testament to all those who value education; BOCES staff, my colleagues and board members whose efforts to build partnerships across districts, business, industry and public and private agencies bring opportunities to the students, families, and community members.”
Antonacci, who joined BOCES 2 as an educator in 1977, has expanded the organization and guided its support for its nine component school districts for 45 years, the last 12 as District Superintendent. Her experience, collaborative nature and foundational commitment to helping students learn has made Antonacci a trusted leader across the educational and business spectrum, in both our region and at the NYS level.
“The 2022 ICON Honors recipients have displayed sustained leadership and integrity as they have made an indelible mark in their fields and beyond. They are also strongly committed to the Greater Rochester community and to the area’s future leaders through mentoring,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, senior group publisher of the Rochester Business Journal. “These leaders have passed the test of time, and we at the Rochester Business Journal are pleased to honor them.”
