Another NYSALC Convention in the books… that’s 66 of ‘em, to be exact….222 delegates from 21 New York State and Puerto Rico branches gathered for 2 days in Syracuse, New York, to pass 4 resolutions and hear firsthand from President Renfroe on the problems and threats to our Union initiated by the Trump administration, and the explicit failure of the Board of Governors with the new PMG. They were also addressed by LPO Ashmon, had a basic overview of the Emergency Response Team,  and had specific breakout training sessions for both Regions 11 and 15 ..We all took time to respect the passing of Dave Barbuzzi, RWCA for Region 11, and a special acclamation for past LCCL Rabbit (Robert) Riley, who’s political acumen directly intertwined us with now Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

We were all installed by Director of Life Insurance Jim Yates on Tuesday..

The event was well executed, and I applaud Tom Dlugolenski and the officers of Branch 134 for an exceptional job..My Thanks to the NYSALC Officers and Executive Board for an exemplary experience (special note of VP Kenny Montgomery, Recording Secretary Jay Jackson, and Executive Board Member Pascual Ortiz for a fantastic job with the resolutions) and extremely proud that we were all elected by acclamation…

Next stop, NYSALC’s 67th biennial Convention in the Hilton/Huntington, on Long Island in 2027..
