Annual Dinner & Presentation of Myron Isaacs Community Service Award

The Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the NYCLU will hold its Annual Dinner on Tuesday, June 8 at 6 p.m. at the Riverview in Hastings-on-Hudson.

Victor Navasky, our keynote speaker, has served as editor, publisher and now publisher emeritus of The Nation. He is also the George Delacorte Professor of Magazine Journalism at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, where he directs the Delacorte Center of Magazines and chairs the Columbia Journalism Review. He has served as an editor on The New York Times Magazine.

His books include Kennedy Justice, Naming Names (which won a National Book Award) and A Matter of Opinion (which won the 2005 George Polk Book Award and the 2006 Ann M. Sperber Prize). The New York Times wrote that, "Anybody who has ever dreamed of starting a magazine, or worried that the country is losing the ability to speak seriously to itself, should read A Matter of Opinion..."

He will be introduced by Hamilton Fish, senior advisor and president emeritus of The Nation Institute.

The Chapter will present the Myron Isaacs Community Service Award to three dedicated advocates at the forefront of immigrants’ rights in the LowerHudsonValley.

Gail Golden co-chairs the Rockland Immigration Coalition and sits on the board of directors for the New York Immigration Coalition.

Martha Lopez is the former Westchester firector of Hispanic affairs to the county executive and was the assistant director of the Washingtonville Housing Alliance in Mamaroneck for the previous 18 years.

Betsy Palmieri is the executive director of the Hudson Valley Community Coalition, a coalition working to change the conversation about immigration in the Hudson Valley. She is also on the steering committee of the NY State Interfaith Network for Immigration Reform, and a member of the board of directors of the New York Immigration Coalition.
