Mary Lou Davis
NYS Convention Director
Cathy O'Leary led the planning of the 2008 New York State Convention of AAUW, where we joined together under the theme, “Moving the Mission Forward” - it was wonderful! This is a watershed time for AAUW in New York State and for the Association and the convention drew us closer together in working through our next steps.
We elected three state officers for the 2008-2009 (effective July 1, 2008). Please read their campaign information to learn about winners - President Eileen Hartmann, Program VP Peggy Kelland and Educational Foundation VP Tamara Brown!
Another highlight was the Public Policy forum on Sunday. See a video of the panel discussion with Assembly member Janele Hyer-Spencer and NYS Commissioner of Labor M. Patricia Smith!
Next year's convention will be held April 24-26 at the Sagamore, on Lake George. More details will be added as arrangements are confirmed. Part of that process will be the election for 2009-2011 of four officers - Membership Vice President, Legal Advocacy Fund Vice President, Secretary/Bylaws and Treasurer. Applications and information are available on the nominating page.
