LEAGUE’S STATE CONVENTION CAME AND WENT WITH SUCCESS!
The State Convention was held June 9-11 at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool, NY. Approximately 100 people attended the workshops, information sessions, plenary, tour of Seneca Falls, speakers and awards presentation! Fun was had by all!
Handouts from the workshops, caucuses and info sessions are being posted to the state website (click here), under the Convention and Council tab on the left. We will be adding lots of photos, too, but for now, go to our Facebook page to see all the friendly faces.
