Division Presidents

NYSPMA members participate in Association programs through 11 local divisions, each with its own officers and monthly programs. These divisions elect members to a House of Delegates that meets each year to set policies and directions for the profession in New York State. These delegates in turn elect 4 officers and 9 additional trustees who govern the Association between annual meetings. NYSPMA is divided, based on geography, into unincorporated component groups or Divisions, each is composed of one or more contiguous counties. Through Divisions, members in close geographic proximity can work together to promote the Mission of this Association
