ABOUT NEW CONVERSATIONS
Last year we gathered at New York Hilton to celebrate NEW's 2019 Equity Awards Leadership Luncheon. We shared a meal, gave a standing ovation for the Tradeswoman Honoree, and raised funds to educate future tradeswomen.
While we cannot be in a room with you this year celebrating our partnership and tradeswomen who are building and maintaining New York City, we can invite you to join us for a NEW Conversation.
For more information, please contact Katrice Thomas, Vice President of Programs at kthomas@new-nyc.org. While events are free, we ask for a minimum suggested donation of $25.
