Leon Cooperman to be Keynote Speaker at NYSSA’s Annual Dinner
 Leon G. Cooperman, CFA, chairman of Omega Advisors, Inc. will be the keynote speaker for NYSSA’s Annual Dinner on June 17.
The Annual Dinner is the premier event on the NYSSA calendar. It attracts more than 300 of NYSSA’s most active and senior members as well as VIPs within the New York financial community. This year’s dinner will afford NYSSA an opportunity to raise funds to support education and student outreach programs, host distinguished guests and honor the achievements of NYSSA’s SEMI (Scholarship, Education, Mentoring, Internship) scholarship recipients, the Investment Research Challenge winning team and the Volunteers of the Year.
All proceeds generated by the dinner will go towards the funding of NYSSA student programs. These programs are designed to guide students throughout their academic career, starting in high school with the Multicultural Outreach program and through graduate school by way of the SEMI program and the Investment Research Challenge.
