Dear PEF 2025 Convention Delegates:
Congratulations on your election as a Delegate to the 47th Annual PEF Convention! This year’s Convention will be held October 19-22, in Lake Placid, New York. Convention events are planned at the Lake Placid Olympic Center, located at 2634 Main Street, Lake Placid, New York, 12946.
Please review the materials contained in this packet as soon as possible. Online registration will open for Executive Board members on August 4, 2025, and for all delegates on August 11, 2025. To ensure housing and travel arrangements can be made in time, all delegates must register by September 4, 2025. Deadlines will be strictly enforced.
This year’s Convention theme is: Stronger Roots, Bolder Future.
We are remembering where we came from – how our union was built by the strength, sacrifices, and solidarity of all our members since 1979. From seasoned leaders to new activists, we honor the generations who held us together and carry our mission forward for those yet to come.
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we ask all delegates to wear pink or their Region 7-designed T-Shirts on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, to show support, strength and unity.
On behalf of the 2025 Convention Committee — Stephanie Champagne, Gwendolyn Culpepper, Kenneth Ferro, Sharon Lamb, Stephanie McLean-Beathley, Margaretann Paczkowski, Owen Byrne, Shelby Wisneski, Alison Rissing, Brian Silva, and Region 7 Coordinator Barbara Stransky – we are honored to welcome you and look forward to seeing you in Lake Placid!
In Unity!
Darlene Williams, Vice President, and PEF Convention Committee Chair
