NOWNYS has a new President

By Chris Ulanowski

Oswego, NY – The New York State Chapter of the National Organization for Women has elected a new President. She is Marcia Pappas, who is currently "Now's" Albany chapter president. She replaces Kathryn Lake Mazierski.

Pappas promises to be a different kind of keader and restore some of the assertiveness from "Now's" early days almost 40-years ago. Pappas spoke with WRVO's Chris Ulanowski.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
