RBJ’s Power 100 List 2021
When we decided to launch our Power List series, we knew it would be a difficult task to select just 100 power players in the Rochester community for our inaugural Power 100 list.

It definitely was. But we are pleased with the makeup of this list of leaders.
Health care is heavily represented, as it should be. The health care industry is vitally important to the Rochester economy even in normal times, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased our reliance on our local health care organizations.
Rochester’s nonprofits also have played a crucial role in helping our community survive this crisis, and they are well-represented here.

The Penn Yan Theatre Company will get some help paying for programming and administrative costs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
They were awarded a $5,000 grant from the Yates Community Endowment’s Yates Emergency Relief Fund.
“We are very thankful to have received this generous grant award to continue our programming efforts despite the ongoing health crisis,” states Dusty Baker, PYTCo President. “Last year was challenging for the entire performing arts community, but we came together to find a way to make something happen. This grant will allow us to continue to explore virtual programming options as we continue to navigate these new waters and take those programs to the next level.”
The Rev. Myra Brown has led Spiritus Christi since 2017.
Correction: The original version of this article mistakenly had the name of Spiritus Christi s operations manager as Graham Davis. His name is Davis Craig. Ask the Rev. Myra Brown, the pastor at Spiritus Christi Church in Rochester, where the roots of her faith first took hold, and she’ll tell you the story of the teacher, the mother, and the paddle. It was the early 1970s, and Brown was in second grade at a rural Orleans County school. In those days, misbehavior wasn’t remedied with a trip to the principal’s office or detention, but rather the swift swing of a paddle along the backside. No student was said to be spared, but to Black students like Brown, it seemed, the hand that swung the paddle was a little more eager.
