Legislative Breakfast – Suffolk County Senators

This year’s legislative breakfast will be held online.  Register for links.  Please make time and join us that day to thank the legislature for their support.

There will be changes to how and what Advocacy Day looks like next year.  No longer will there be a big one day event where NYLA asks membership to send up buses of people.  As the NYLA Leg Committee figures out what our future advocacy efforts look like I will report back to the executive committee.
