From March 16-18, Management Services, the Engagement & Development Services Grants Team and NERIC collaborated to represent Capital Region BOCES at the 2026 New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) Legislative Conference. Bringing together more than 700 county legislators from across the state, the conference was an opportunity for BOCES staff to engage directly with county-level decision makers.
