Register for Advocacy Day Now!

Although the state will be operating in a $500 million surplus during the 2014-15 fiscal year, we still have to ensure that seniors and aging services are at the forefront of lawmakers discussions during budget negotiations. We hope that you will help ensure that long term care is properly represented in this year's budget by participating in the LeadingAge New York/Adult Day Health Care Council Annual Advocacy Day on Tues., Feb. 4. Click here to register. Once you’ve registered, please begin scheduling meetings with lawmakers between 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Please refrain from scheduling meetings between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m; this time will be set aside for guest legislative speakers and lunch. For your convenience, we’ve created a step-by-step guide to assist you with scheduling your legislative meetings.

Advocacy Day will begin promptly at 9 a.m. on Tues., Feb. 4 on the concourse level of the Empire State Plaza in Albany in meeting rooms 2 and 3. After registration has commenced on the morning of Advocacy Day, LeadingAge New York policy and government relations staff will review materials with participants during a morning program. Materials, including an issue brief, talking points and parking information will be sent via email to participants the week before Advocacy Day and posted on the Advocacy Day website. If you need assistance with scheduling legislative meetings, have difficulty with registration or need specific accommodations, please do not hesitate to contact Alyssa Lovelace at 518-867-8844.
