***SAVE THE DATE***

SAVE THE DATE: NYS LEGISLATIVE FORUM FEBRUARY 4 -5, 2008 ALBANY NY

Greetings. Please plan on attending the 2008 Legislative Forum in Albany. The 2008 legislative session will likely be an exciting time, with many new initiatives being proposed and debated. The upcoming session will be shaped by such factors as the recommendations from the Governor's Commission on the Future of Higher Education (which will include k12 proposals), the looming budget gap, round 2 of "Contracts for Excellence", the Presidential primary, all 212 Members of the Legislature up for election (with the Senate holding on to a slim 2 seat majority).

Our steering committee of the Legislative Consortium has moved forward with '08 planning that includes a refocusing on school counselor advocacy, access to higher education and advocacy training. Participants in the Legislative Forum recognize and appreciate the training that is conducted at the annual conferences. After 10 years of successes, all ten member associations have many trained advocates to further the noble cause of high quality K 12 and higher education in New York State.

I look forward to communicating further with you during the weeks ahead.

See you in Albany in February if not before!

Greetings SUNYCAP,

I would love to attend the New York State Legislative Forum in Albany in Feb. 4-5, 2008 but I do not see a registration form.

There is a link on SUNYCAP's website to a pdf registration form, but that is for 2007.

I am an Admissions Counselor at SUNY Canton.

Please provide updated registration information so we can plan ahead.
