Your participation in our annual Advocacy Day in Albany on March 2 is vitally important.

This year is particularly complex, given the political and fiscal environment. We are starting from a point where many of our important finance priorities are not included in the budget; getting those items into the budget will be challenging and requires your help. Therefore, we need you to bring a team—ideally about a dozen executives, key staff, and trustees—from your organization to participate.

Program check-in will begin at 8 a.m.

This event is for HANYS' members only.

Who Should Attend
A dozen executives, key staff, and trustees from your organization.

Registration Deadline
The registration deadline for this program is February 29.

If you have any questions regarding registration, please email learning@hanys.org.
