A full day of advocacy, access, and action at New York State’s Links Day at the Capitol. 💚 Proud to stand alongside Links representing 15 chapters in New York State as we engaged directly with leaders shaping policy across our state, including Landon Dais, Jordan Wright, Latrice Walker, Rebecca Seawright, Cordell Cleare, Leroy Comrie, Liz Krueger, and Education Chair Michael Benedetto. We were also honored with a formal acknowledgment on the Assembly Floor, thanks to Michaelle Solages, Chair of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, & Asian Legislative Caucus. It was a powerful moment of recognition for the work of The Links across New York State. Fast-paced. Impact-filled. Purpose-driven. This is what it looks like when service, sisterhood, and strategy come together to move communities forward. #LinksDayAtTheCapitol #TheLinksInc #Friendshipandservice #AdvocacyInAction #NYSPolitics WomenInLeadership ServiceAndImpact PowerInAction

As we close out Women’s History Month, we look back on a powerful day of insight, strategy, and sisterhood at the Economic Forum, Link Sisters in Power: Building Economic Legacies Together. From dynamic panel discussions to hands on working sessions, the forum brought together founders, investors, and corporate leaders committed to advancing ownership, entrepreneurship, and long term wealth creation. We were especially proud to see our very own GNY Chapter member, Robin Zeigler, share powerful insights during Second Act, Smart Money, exploring how women can build new income streams and create sustainable wealth at every stage. With an inspiring keynote from Cheryl McKissack Daniel, the day reinforced what is possible when women lead, invest, and build together. #WomensHistoryMonth #EconomicEmpowerment #TheLinksInc #BlackWomenLead #GNYLinks
