100th Anniversary Activities
The NY Cultural Heritage Tourism Network is sponsoring a NY Women’s Suffrage Centennial Conference, 1917-2017, in Seneca Falls on Oct. 1, 2015. The conference is to provide awareness, stimulate interest and nurture partnerships in preparation for the Centennial Celebration of women’s right to vote in NYS. The state League is participating in this conference as we plan our events, educational forums and materials to celebrate both the centennial of the women’s right to vote AND the League’s 100th anniversary. Members who are interested are encouraged to attend the conference. The link is: http://newyorkculturalheritagetourismnetwork.com/.
