Reminder: Join Us for Public Affairs Council Meeting This Thurs., June 5th!
(June 3, 2025) Members are reminded that LeadingAge NY will be hosting our June Public Affairs Council meeting this Thurs., June 5th at 3 p.m.
There are approximately two weeks remaining of the 2025 NYS Legislative Session. The final day of this year’s session is scheduled for June 12th; however, it is possible that the State Assembly may opt to stay in Albany a few days longer, until June 18th.
In this month's Council meeting, we will discuss the many important bills that are moving in the final days of session and the areas where we need the support of broad member advocacy. We will discuss legislation relevant to all member service lines, including adult care facilities, nursing homes, home and community-based services, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities. In addition, we will provide an update on the federal budget reconciliation process and discuss next steps for advocacy and messaging over the coming months.
We encourage members to share your ongoing advocacy and press initiatives with us. We aim for these calls to be both an opportunity for LeadingAge NY to update members and for us to hear from you about your challenges and successes. We hope that you will be available to join us for this meaningful discussion. If you have not already done so, you can sign up for the Public Affairs Council here.
In addition, if you are curious about what has been happening in Albany over the past month and the advocacy that is needed, we encourage you to stay up to date via our weekly Legislative Bulletin. The May 30th edition offers all of the latest!
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 discussions primarily 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.
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.
