Legislative Directors,
Tomorrow should be a full day beginning with breakfast at 8am. I will be starting the program precisely at 9am with the Mayor of Albany giving the opening welcome. As of now every key speaker that was invited to speak has accepted the invite. That is a credit to the strength of our organization. I know that the Public Protection Hearing will be going on so I may have to push things along if one of the speakers needs to get to the hearing.
What is most important is for us as an organization to show all the guest speakers the proper respect as we have always done in the past. We have much work we intend to do. and by all of them accepting to address our vast membership, it is a sign that they care and a good start to trying to accomplish some of our goals moving forward.
In Unity,
Peter D. Meringolo
NYSPEC
Chairman
