Description

*In-Person Event*

Join us for a Policy Matters series event, as part of our Greater ROC Young Professionals programming, featuring a Legislative Panel Discussion followed by a social hour designed to foster dialogue, build connections, and inspire civic engagement.

Young professionals will hear directly from a bipartisan panel of local and state legislators on the issues shaping our region—and our future.

This event aims to connect emerging leaders with public officials who are actively shaping policies that impact our careers, communities, and quality of life. From community and economic development to housing affordability, education, transportation, and career growth, this conversation will explore the key challenges and opportunities ahead—and how young professionals can be part of the solution. 

Members of the delegation invited so far:

• Mitch Gruber, Rochester City Council
• Samra Brouk, New York State Senate
• Nate Salzman, Brighton Town Board
• Josh Jensen, New York State Assembly
• Yversha Roman, Majority Leader, Monroe County Legislature

Panel moderated by Joe Leathersich, Director, Advocacy, Intergovernmental Relations, and Public Policy, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce

The panel discussion will be followed by a social hour where you can continue the conversation, network with peers, and connect with our local leaders. Don’t miss this chance to be part of an impactful conversation!

RSVP Deadline: Friday, August 1st. No refunds will be issued after this date.
