Assemblywoman Galef to Host Panel Discussion on Paid Family Leave

New York State Assemblywoman Sandy Galef invites the public to attend a forum about the pros and cons of paid family leave. The question of whether New York State should join the many states and countries that provide time away from work to care for new or ill family members will be discussed. The speakers will present a wide variety of perspectives, and include the following business professionals and activists:

Frank Kerbein, Director, Center for Human Resources, Business Council of NYS

Beverly Neufeld, President & Founder, PowHer NY

Ted Potrikus, President & CEO, Retail Council of NYS

Eric Williams, Campaign Director, NY Paid Family Leave

Galef hopes that, “a thoughtful discussion of this interesting and controversial subject will leave everyone thinking about the ways in which we support workers, and better informed about the proposals at hand.”
