As early as next week, your Senators will get a chance to vote on the so-called "Workplace Advancement Act." Conservatives are claiming it's an equal pay bill — but in reality, it would do more harm than good for women.

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.

Tuesday, November 3, 2015 is general election day in New York. All registered voters are eligible to vote during the general election. The 2015 elections will be for local offices only. There is one special election for a statewide office this year in the Binghamton, NY area. The former Senator for the area, Senator Tom Libous, was convicted on federal charges and forced to resign his seat. This left an opening, and the Governor called a special election for this election to fill the vacant seat.

In 2014, the NY Grace Legendre Fund Inc., a 501©(3) non for profit corporation, began awarding Special Grants to organizations in order to sponsor educational or research opportunities which would further the advancement of working women.

The Buffalo Niagara Chapter of NYS Women, Inc. and WKBW-TV will recognize our 2015/2016 Women in Leadership at this annual dinner.  Channel 7 News anchor Joanna Pasceri will help us honor the accomplishments of these twelve Western New York women who give back to the community. This marks the fourth year that the Women in Leadership program has honored Western New York's “unsung heroines.” The evening’s celebration will also include the chapter’s officer installation.
