This Week at Big I NY!

We started the week with two great opportunities for learning and connection.

☕ Our Coffee Pop-In in New York City brought members together for conversation, networking, and community.

🎓 At our Syracuse headquarters, Amanda MacLachlan led Medicare Simplified, helping attendees navigate the complexities of Medicare with confidence.

We then wrapped up the week at the Big I Southern Tier Member Appreciation Dinner, where we celebrated our members, presented scholarships, and heard a legislative update from Travis Wattie.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this week. Your engagement and support are what make these events so meaningful. We look forward to seeing you at the next one!
