Don’t miss Black, Puerto Rican legislative conference
The Black Caucus of PEF will host a reception and a workshop this year at the 37th Annual Conference of the NYS Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators in Albany. The PEF Political Action Committee also will hold its annual invitation-only reception for legislators at the conference.

The conference is Friday, February 15, through Sunday, February 17, at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany.

If you are in town, stop by the PEF booth on the ESP concourse Saturday.
