New York State Women Inc. is in the process of collecting scholarship award information from our local chapters. We believe that this information will help promote New York State Women Inc. to both members and nonmembers. Once the information is compiled, it will be listed on the NYSW, Inc. website.

In 2004 the NY Grace LeGendre Endowment Fund began awarding Special Grants to organizations in order to sponsor educational or research opportunities which would further the advancement of working women.

At our December meeting, the Tech Valley chapter voted to change the way we handle dues. Like most chapters, we have been operating under the current system. The dues notice is generated by State.

We have had many members ask what they can do to help those devastated by Hurricane Sandy.  At this time, we have been asked to support the Red Cross and their efforts to assist storm victims.  As we learn more from our chapters that were affected and what they might specifically need, we will pass along the information.  Thank you all for your willingness to help! http://www.redcross.org/hurricane-sandy
