KEYNOTE SPEAKER
BROOKLYN BOROUGH PRESIDENT
ERIC L. ADAMS
Brooklyn Borough President, Eric L. Adams has allocated more than $26 million towards STEM-focused education across 150 schools throughout Brooklyn for Fiscal Year 2017.
“A noted educator once said, ‘Don’t tell me where your priorities are…show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what they are,’” said Borough President Adams. “As I unveil more than $26 million for education — the largest allocation of my FY17 capital budget — I am prioritizing the students of Brooklyn. This effort is a direct reflection of my commitment over the last year to actively recruit school administrators to join our shared mission of focusing their institutions’ future growth in the critical academic fields of STEM.”
