 the recent changes in Washington, many have decried how the future of a
 good sustainable agenda is threatened.  Many have faced these threats 
in the past, and hope to give a positive message, and a series of 
solutions, to continue the fight.  This annual policy forum is dedicated
 to the late Patty Noonan, a gifted policy professional who helped push 
sustainability in affordable housing for the first time in NYS; Patty 
may have died prematurely but left a legacy of strong fellow 
advocates.  </span><span class="gmail-aBn" style="border-bottom:1px dashed rgb(204,204,204);color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span class="gmail-aQJ" style="top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tonight</span></span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">, we hope to encourage new advocates to follow in her footsteps.</span></span></p>
