RVC Mayor Elected To NYCOM Board

On May 6, at its 110th Annual Meeting, the membership of the New York State Conference of Mayors (NYCOM) elected Rockville Centre Mayor Francis X. Murray to serve as NYCOM’s Second Vice President for the next year.

“I’m honored to have been selected to serve as NYCOM’s Second Vice President,” said Murray. “I look forward to working with Peter A. Baynes, executive director of the Conference of Mayors, and the entire NYCOM staff to advocate NYCOM’s mission to provide essential municipal services through the most effective means in Albany on behalf of our village and the more than 12 million New Yorkers. Congratulations to our newly elected President, Mayor Robert T. Kennedy of the Village of Freeport; First Vice President, Mayor Richard David of the City of Binghamton; and Treasurer, Mayor Kathy Sheehan of the City of Albany.”

Prior to his new role, Murray was named to NYCOM’s Executive Committee in May 2013. The Executive Committee is responsible for governing the NYS Conference of Mayors and establishing its overall policies.

"Local governments play a critical role in the overall prosperity of our state. Mayor Murray’s knowledge and commitment to his community will go a long way toward our efforts to strengthen villages and cities throughout New York,” said Peter A. Baynes, executive director of NYCOM. “Local officials will benefit greatly from his experience as mayor of a vibrant, full-service village and leader in community revitalization.”

The Conference of Mayors represents 575 cities and villages in New York, ranging from the smallest village to the City of New York. NYCOM has been in existence since 1910.
