SPEAKER: Jada Jackson, M.S. LMHC, NCC, President Total Life Counseling Center

Today’s challenging times demand specific skill sets to ensure our workplaces allow all thoughts and actions to be voiced without fear. This class will outline best practices and give leaders a chance to self-assess where they are vs. where they should be.

The PCBC is supporting racial equality among the business community by partnering with the Business Council of Westchester, as well as the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, and other Hudson Valley business organizations to provide Free Anti-Racism Educational Programming, developed and presented by professionals from Balancing Life’s Issues.

Cybersecurity is now a common term on the thoughts and minds of everyone, and represents the dark side of technology. Worse yet, just as the average person starts to understand the threats, their level and sophistication evolve into something even murkier. Even technology experts struggle to keep up. So then how does the average business leader hope to avoid being hacked? Hear our expert deliver an easy to understand explanation of the Cybersecurity threats facing all businesses (and people) today. A pragmatic overview will be shared of all the key areas and components that businesses must have in place to protect themselves against ever-present and evolving threats.

Filling out the census is one of the most important things we can do this year to make sure that New York gets its fair share of federal funding.

New York has historically been undercounted, which in turn limits our access to federal funds for schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and much more. For every person not counted, New York loses approximately $2,600.

Please take 10 minutes out of your day to fill out the 2020 census, and encourage your friends and family to do the same. To find out more information visit www.census.gov.

The 95^th Assembly District’s 2020 Census Response Rate:

Newly released date from the 2020 Census indicates that 65.3% of the population in my district has filled out their census forms. Statewide, the response rate is 57.7% and nationally, the response rate is 62.2%. Below, please find a breakdown of this data per municipality.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced $1.5 million in funding for ‘Feeding New York State’ to support its network of 10 regional food banks, as well as local farms to help provide milk and produce to food insecure New Yorkers. This funding, made available through the State’s Environmental Protection Fund, is in response to the increased need for food bank services due to the economic and public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and also supports the State’s ongoing efforts to prevent food waste.
