Meet Judy Pannullo
Hi, thanks so much
for visiting. It is such a pleasure to be working with so
many wonderful people that do such amazing work. The Council's
member agencies are so committed to the really critical work
that is so desperately needed for our County's most vulnerable
population. I am touched daily by their caring hard work.
An extra special bonus to this work is the fabulous
staff that we have. Their professionalism and willingness
to work hard has always been strongly evident and their loyalty
is outstanding. Call Donna, Janet or Amber anytime and I am
sure you will agree!
With a background
in community organizing and advocacy, what could be better
than advocating for the much-needed social services that are
provided every day by such caring people? Our advocacy work
with the County Legislature has proved successful as we continue
to advocate for adequate funds to the agencies that contract
with the County, and the 2010 budget remained the same even
though County departments were cut. And our "Smart Contracting"
work of analyzing and advocating for a speedier process will
lead to a much quicker turn around time for this year's contracts.
We will continue to make this our highest priority as we look
at future County budgets and the very real threat of further
cuts. Be sure to become involved and have your voice heard.
And be sure to keep an eye on our website for legislative
and action alerts!
We have added some
exciting new programs, Accessible Long Island, our cutting
edge project that increases accessibility for all Long Islanders,
our Network of Women with Disabilities (advocating on behalf
of women with disabilities), our Unity project which is our
humanitarian project working with the day laborers in Brentwood
and connecting them to the available services they many need
while also providing Job English classes. Be sure to keep
a careful eye out for our eblasts giving you all the details!
And we also have some new projects coming in the very near
future so be sure to watch for those. We are your eyes and
ears for what happens in Suffolk County. We continue to monitor
the County Legislature as well as any legislation that affects
us here in Suffolk County from the State and Federal levels.
Call me anytime
for any updates, questions, or especially suggestions of ways
that we can serve you better. You can reach me at 631-434-9277.
I know we'll find something in common and together we'll find
a way to make Suffolk County a better place to work and live.
Thanks for visiting!
