In this virtual session, the Central New York Community Foundation will build upon the discussion from its 2019 “Lead Poisoning in CNY” event. Precious time has passed for families who are enduring lead poisoning and now, with the addition of the pandemic, many government, medical and nonprofit organizations are still preoccupied with COVID-19. With two panels featuring government, medical and neighborhood experts, the session will cover the progress that has been made in medical testing and code enforcement, as well as the challenges Central New York may face moving forward.

The Central New York Political Leadership Institute will launch its 13th annual eight-week program to train individuals how to navigate the political process with a free, virtual information session from 5 to 6 p.m. Jan. 25. The training sessions cover campaign organization and operations, how to get on the ballot, messaging, working with the media, campaign finance, fundraising and how to get out the vote.
