2011 Citation Winner Milinda Reed Director, Domestic Violence Services Program at Unity House in Troy For the past 11 years, Milinda has worked at Unity House and developed numerous programs to assist victims of domestic violence. She developed and implemented The Law Project, which provides free legal representation in civil legal matters including divorce, custody, visitation, and child support. The innovative programs developed by Milinda and her staff to assist the unique needs of rural women, immigrant women, women for whom violence has had physical, mental and emotional impact, and teenagers have been hailed by federal regulators as some of the most comprehensive programs in the nation.
The Hack and the Wonk on New York State Government Today - A Seasoned Journalist's Perspective vs. An Old[er] Professor's View Politics can make for some pretty legendary pairings. Think Jim Carville and Mary Matalin, Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson, and Michael Kinsley and Robert Novak. But famous political pairings are not exclusive to Washington. Consider the father and daughter team of Gerald Benjamin ("Wonk") and Liz Benjamin ("Hack"). Each is known individually for their political savy, insight and thoughtful commentary on all that is Albany politics. But together, their observations, anecdotes and perspectives could cause sparks to fly - or at a minimum, result in a lively debate. Don't miss this opportunity to hear what two of New York's finest political commentators have to say about the state of New York State.
