The 27th year conference is themed Embrace the Journey, Shape the Future. During the conference, items are raffled off with the proceeds from the raffle donated to a local charity. This year the Committee has named the Joseph’s House & Shelter in Troy New York (www.josephshousetroy.org) as the recipient of the charity raffle. Joseph’s House & Shelter is a nonprofit organization that provides a continuum of homeless services to residents of the Capital Region. In 2022, Joseph’s House worked with 2,907 homeless or formerly homeless Capital District residents throughout all of its programs – an increase of more than 50% over the prior year. They worked with 2,344 single individuals, and 563 members of 151 families – including 356 children under 18

Thanks to donations from businesses like you, the conference donated $3,000 to last year’s local charity. Previously donated items include gift certificates, movie tickets, technology devices, and admission tickets to local events. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
