Reminder: Join Us for Public Affairs Council Meeting This Thurs., Dec. 5th!
(Dec. 3, 2024) Members are reminded that LeadingAge NY will be hosting our December Public Affairs Council meeting this Thurs., Dec. 5th at 3 p.m. During this month’s meeting, LeadingAge NY will provide an update on the comprehensive suite of grassroots advocacy materials being used in our pre-budget nursing home and housing efforts. During the meeting, participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from other members about what they are doing for advocacy and different approaches being implemented statewide. We also will provide an update on our member-driven video advocacy campaign, what members can do to get involved, and options for an alternative hashtag to use for our campaign. With the Executive Budget Proposal expected to be announced in the new year, December is a critical time for LeadingAge NY, our members, and our network of advocates to participate in multiple layers of grassroots advocacy that will capture the Governor's attention.
The Public Affairs Council serves as a venue for Public Relations (PR) and Government Affairs professionals from LeadingAge NY member organizations to join together and coordinate advocacy and press efforts. It offers a prime opportunity for members to weigh in on our materials and strategies, and we use your feedback to refine and capitalize on our work together. While areas of discussion tend to focus on advocacy and press, any staff member from any LeadingAge NY member organization who is interested in advocacy is welcome to join this council.
If you have not already done so, you can sign up for the Public Affairs Council here!
All Public Affairs Council meetings are held over Zoom. Please reach out to Sarah Daly at sdaly@leadingageny.org with any questions about the Council or PR/advocacy resources.
