The 2011 State Convention was a huge success with over 100 people from across the state attending. The delegates adopted the 2011-2012 budget, elected the new officers and Board for the state League, and adopted the current program/positions with no alterations or new studies. Attendees participated in a number of workshops or information sessions at which new or updated League materials were discussed. The attendees also heard from Albany County Executive Michael Breslin; author, former Governor of VT and former Ambassador to Switzerland Madeleine Kunin; and CEO/President and renowned pollster John Zogby.
