Reminder: Join Us for Public Affairs Council Meeting This Thurs., July 31st!
(July 28, 2025) Members are reminded that LeadingAge NY will be hosting our July Public Affairs Council meeting this Thurs., July 31st at 3 p.m.
In this month's Council meeting, we will highlight several high-level outcomes from this year's state legislative session and the recently approved federal budget bill. We will use those outcomes to help inform this discussion on advocacy and press strategies that will be pursued in the coming weeks.
The core objectives of our summer public affairs strategies will be to elevate conversations around access to quality long-term care services, highlight the need to protect recent investments in aging services, and strengthen relationships with state policymakers. LeadingAge NY will provide several tools to help support member advocacy in the district, and we hope to hear from members about the district events and local press stories that you are pursuing in your area of the state. We will identify specific areas of potential collaboration on activities such as facility tours, district meetings, press releases, social media efforts, and more.
We aim for these calls to be both an opportunity for LeadingAge NY to update members and an opportunity 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.
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.
