Over the last decade Black Americans have achieved many “firsts” in Central New York. But how can we help the next generation to continue to blaze new trails in Central New York and beyond?
On Thursday, March 5, 2026, join us for “From First to Next’ for a discussion with Syracuse’s first African American Mayor, Sharon F. Owens.
The conversation will be lead by Iris St. Meran, co-host and producer of “Bridge Street” on NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV).
Registration & Breakfast 7:30 am | Program 8:00 am – 9:00 am
