Moving forward with an in-person Annual Conference
The Conference Sessions Committee continues to plan for an in-person Annual Conference to be held later this spring on June 2-4 at the Onondaga Community College, SRC Arena in Syracuse.
 
This will be the first time in three years Conference clergy and lay members have been able to meet in this way. As part of these preparations, the Sessions Committee is exploring safety and hygiene practices to ensure the health and comfort of participants. Comments and suggestions offered by Conference members in a recent survey have provided the Sessions Committee with insight and inspiration.
