In May and June 2019, LIFE held a series of seven Regional Meetings across New York State. LIFE made stops in the Hudson Valley, the North Country, Western New York, the Southern Tier, the Capital Region, Long Island and New York City. Below is a list of presentations and sessions that were held at each regional meeting. In the instance that there was no slide presentation to share, a link to the presenter’s organization webpage is provided. Building on the discussions started during the 2018 Low- to Moderate-Income Public Forums hosted by NYSERDA and the NYS Department of Public Service, each meeting included a stakeholder feedback discussion that focused on current initiatives and identified opportunities to improve the impact of energy and affordability programs in communities.
