Philanthropy New York is proud to announce our 38th Annual Meeting “The Power of Participation: Democracy Building Now.” The focus of this half-day conference will be on the interrelated issues associated with voting rights, access to participation and how people get the information that motivates them to engage.
As always, the Annual Meeting will begin with the election of new Philanthropy New York Board members and a review of the past year’s accomplishments.
