Upon creation of the Association, it was decided to meet bi-annually every year. The intention was to discuss happenings that are going on within the association and ideas for events and outreaches throughout the year. Over the years it has morphed into a winter meeting and a summer convention. The winter meeting is typically held in the Saratoga area and the summer convention has changed in the last few years. The summer convention now alternates around the State every other year.
**Important update: it was voted all further summer conventions on even years will be held on the first Monday and Tuesday of August every year going forward. This is so people can plan ahead and know when the event is every year. Every other odd year moving forward, the summer meeting will be paired with the HOAL golf tournament.
2025 Summer Meeting is Sunday, July 6, 2025, and will be held at the Vernon Downs Casino followed by a dinner in the banquet hall. Time TBD.
- A menu will be forwarded in the coming weeks. If you are interested in attending, please email nycoasecretary@outlook.com with the number of people for a head count. The meeting was held at this facility two years ago and it was very well received.
