NYAPRS Note: NYAPRS is very pleased to share our full Legislative Day book, to be used at this coming Tuesday’s February 28th Legislative Day in Albany. See the attached day’s agenda as well.
If you’ve missed one of our 10 regional forums to date, you can join in person attendees or zoom in to tomorrow’s NYC Regional forum at John Jay College (524 W 59th St, New York, NY 10019) that will feature full presentations on the attached issues, from Harvey, Luke and a panel of experts (see below).
We’ll also explore local priorities and recommended actions, firm up plans for area advocates to participate at Annual Legislative Day and give out a free scholarship to the NYAPRS Annual Conference. See below for more information about the forum and how to reserve a spot on the NYC buses!
Great thanks to “Skip” Skipper, our NYC regional coordinator for hosting the event!
