2022 Coro New York Leadership Conference Panel Topics
Panel 1 | 10:15am – 11:05am
Forging Compromise: What can the Adams and Hochul Administrations learn from New York’s previous crises?
Looking back to the crises of the 1970s and early 2000s, New York City and State governments brought together different sectors to cooperate and compromise for the sake of rebuilding New York’s economic infrastructure. What can the Adams and Hochul administrations learn from those crises to avert a future crisis? Who was forgotten during those recoveries? How might these lessons aid in rebuilding a city and state reeling from a pandemic?
Panel 2 | 11:10am – 12:00pm
Organizing Outside the Box: Marriage Equality, the Fight for 15, and Pursuit for Rent Reform
New York’s activists in the last decade have provided examples of organizing with a purpose. In 2011, the marriage equality act. In 2016, the fight for a higher minimum wage. And In 2018, housing activists organized, mobilized, and helped to reimagine the rent laws. What are the lessons we can learn for future organizing endeavors? Did the ends meet the aims? What lessons can be learned from the interplay of organizers with actors from the public, private, and social sectors?
Panel 3 | 12:45pm – 1:35pm
Role of the Press in Holding Government Accountable in the Age of Misinformation
In an era where the stature of local media is diminished, what is the role of the press in holding elected officials accountable during an age of misinformation? What is the responsibility of the government in this? What does the future hold for the local press in New York, and how can newly elected leaders work with the local press in the spirit of transparency and accountability?
Panel 4 | 1:40pm – 2:30pm
Closing the Gap: The Moral and Economic Imperative to Uplift New Yorkers of Color
How do we rectify the racial, health, and wealth gaps that keep millions of New Yorkers from realizing their full potential? What are the political and economic imperatives to realizing the city’s egalitarian and democratic ideals? What factors are most important for leaders from across the public, private, and social sectors to consider in addressing each of these gaps?
Panel 5 | 2:35pm – 3:25pm
What has America learned from New York?
With over one million students back in school and nearly 70% of the city’s population now vaccinated, New Yorkers are back to work and the city is getting back on its feet. However, the road traveled over the course of the pandemic was not entirely smooth. We have seen successful strategies laid out since the start of the pandemic, but mistakes have also been made along the way. What are the lessons that we can learn from this process? What leadership strategies have been laid out, which have been successfully implemented and why? Which leadership strategies were unsuccessful and why?
