treasures,  the  first  coordinated  urban  park  system in the country,
designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted; and
 
  WHEREAS, Under  the  able  leadership  of  Stephanie  Crockatt,  the

Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy endowment and  financial  capabilities
to promote the well-being of the park; and

program,  a  6-month  networking program for young adults who want to be
involved with nonprofit management; and
 
  WHEREAS, Stephanie Crockatt's tireless work and advocacy during  her
tenure  with the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy embodied a vision and
philosophy that prioritized park health, neighborhood connectivity,  and
provided welcoming spaces for all; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  Conservancy  and  the  Buffalo public are indebted to
Stephanie Crockatt's consummate stewardship; and
 
  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of  this  Legislative  Body that when

of the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it
