CORTLAND, NY (607NewsNow) – A local leader is being recognized at the state level.

On May 8, Senator Lea Webb presented Timothy Lockwood with a State Senate Commendation Award.

Lockwood is the Executive Director of Catholic Charities of Cortland County (CCOC). He was chosen for his impact and contributions to the community.

“I’m honored to have received this award, but I wouldn’t be here without the great team at Catholic Charities,” said Lockwood. “My agency is here to serve members of our community who are struggling with food insecurity, housing issues, mental health and substance abuse issues, and stigma. It is hard work, with many barriers and setbacks, but the staff is very dedicated, and we are here to serve our community one person at a time. I truly enjoy the work I do as it has allowed me to meet many amazing people trying to do better in an increasingly difficult world.”

Lockwood joined CCOC in 2015 with over 20 years of experience in non-profit management and human services. He was named executive director in 2021.
