Join the Empire State Society of Association Executives (ESSAE) & Metro New York Society of Association Executives (Metro NYSAE) for an Association Advocacy Day on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
The goal of the Metro NYSAE/ESSAE Association Advocacy Day is to raise awareness of the importance and impact of associations to the life and success of New York State, as well as heighten awareness by elected officials that Metro NYSAE and ESSAE are the “go-to” resources on all matters relating to associations in New York State.
Whether you are a veteran of the Hill or a first-timer, ESSAE’s Government Relations Committee will prepare you for the day. Should you have a connection with a particular Legislator, we will have the opportunity to let them know too, as it will help us further our message.
There is no registration cost to join the event. Come dressed for success – and ready to talk about what you do each day – and the power of associations in New York State! ESSAE will have everything prepared for you! We will hold a virtual orientation session to discuss plans for the event and key talking points in advance of May 7th.
Here’s Why ESSAE & Metro NYSAE Need YOU to Participate in our Advocacy Day:
Is there a legislative agenda? Will we be lobbying?
The goal for the day is to educate Legislators on the real impact of associations on the state. Participants will have access to a “New York Associations by the Numbers” document. This will be our lead in piece, and then we ask attendees to talk about their particular association and tout achievements in order to reinforce the overall message.
The ESSAE Government Affairs Committee is monitoring legislative activity and if any bills are identified that could impact the work of Metro NYSAE members, ESSAE would include this information and position in our efforts.
ESSAE & Metro NYSAE will not be explicitly lobbying for or against any specific legislation. YOUR participation will not require you to register as a lobbyist or designated lobbyist.
