This year-end event is marked by numerous recognition awards presented to the hardworking volunteers that help make our Chapter one of the most highly-regarded of all AGA chapters. We will also recognize the 2009 recipient of our Outstanding Achievements in Government Accountability Award. As you will recall from last year, Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton won this prestigious award.

The Annual Appreciation Luncheon always provides excellent networking opportunities, as well as a chance to meet the Chapter's new officers and Board members.
 
So please mark your calendars and attend this special event. The Luncheon brings together our Chapter family to conduct a little business - while having great food and lots of fun!
