Week in Review

This past week, VOCAL-NY had a powerful leadership retreat in Albany. VOCAL-NY leaders convened to deepen relationships, build community, and configure goals and priorities for the coming year. The retreat is also a time to reflect on the progress that has been achieved and remember those we have lost. The leadership retreat is an opportunity for all VOCAL-NY unions to come together to discuss intersectional issues and find the connections that holds our work together.
