Chair Lee questions MOIA interagency coordination meetings
Lee asks about regular interagency task force meetings. Ali describes the quarterly interagency task force bringing together all 46 city agencies, plus her own direct meetings with commissioners at key agencies serving immigrants.
I'm assuming the answer is yes, but if you could speak to that a little bit, because between MOIA, HRA, DYCD, SBS, DOHMH, like there's a lot of agencies I feel like that you touch, right?
And so how has that been?
In terms of, I mean, the last few weeks.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, there is a longstanding interagency task force that MOIA is responsible for.
It brings to the table all 46 city agencies for the very purpose of making sure that we're sharing updates and information, you know, that can potentially impact immigrant New Yorkers.
So those meetings happen quarterly.
But I'll go a step further, you know, and just tap into my organizing background.
It's really important for me as the leader of this office to also engage commissioners at some of the leading agencies where immigrant New Yorkers seek services and make sure that we're building across as commissioners as well.
And so I've been, you know, focused on having those meetings, having those conversations, and making sure that we're elevating those issues even outside of the interagency task force meetings.
