Where leaders have met since 1956.
Windrose on Hudson is a 62-acre resort, learning center and event venue in Ossining, about 40 miles north of New York City. The land began as Windrose Farms more than 90 years ago. In 1956 it became home to the country's first corporate university, the former GE Crotonville leadership institute.
Today it pairs that history with more than 52,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, 248 guest rooms, 10 miles of walking and biking trails, and a dedicated conference manager for every group.
