NYSAR’s
annual Lobby Day is Tuesday, May 24, 2016 in Albany. Contact Government Affairs
Director Mike Kelly at
mkelly@nysar.com to RSVP. This year, we will be advocating for a statewide
first-time homebuyer
savings account program,
among other
legislative
priorities. For those traveling to Albany the day prior, a block of
rooms at the new
Renaissance
Albany Hotel, located across the street from the New York State
Capitol Building, has been set aside until April 23. The rate is $179. To
reserve a room, call 518-992-2500 and use our room block code SAR, or enter the
online group code: SARSARA. NYSAR will reimburse up to $75 per person for
travel expenses to Albany for Lobby Day. NYSAR also reimburses local boards
half the cost to lease mass transportation to Lobby Day. NYSAR will provide
breakfast, lunch, lobbying orientation and lobbying materials.
