Its hard to believe I was just installed as your NYS Women Inc President. Thank you to everyone for all your words of encouragement and support. I get asked all the time why NYSW when there are so many business organizations out there. The answer to this question is different for each one of us but for me – mentoring, networking, personal/professional development, friendships, are words that come to mind. It is by far the best organization I am part of.

What an amazing weekend we had in Syracuse for the October Meeting. The weekend was full of laughing, networking, learning and education. It was so great to see so many women helping and supporting each other. Everyone was so positive and supportive. I think everyone left the meeting re-energized to move this organization to the next level.

HELLO EVERYONE! How is your year going so far? Are you getting into the swing of things with your chapters and regions? This is an exciting time for NYS Women, Inc.! We are one hundred years old! Pass the cake!
It was George Bernard Shaw, famous playwright, who penned this keeper:
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself!”
When we create ourselves, we bring something into existence, we manifest. We cause a part of us to come into being – intentionally, deliberately. Our hidden voice wants to be heard . . . yet where and why is it hidden?
In 2015, then-immediate past president of NYS Women, Inc., Amy Kellogg, gave a presentation on effective political advocacy at that year’s spring board in April at the Griffiss Institute in Rome. Here are the highlights; and take special notice of the dates the legislature is in session. Advocating for an issue when your legislator isn’t in Albany, isn’t a good use of your time!
