It was there that she learned the ins and outs of political inside activity. A number of years later, Renee formed her own club called the Parliament Democratic Club to begin her journey to become the next Female Member of the New York State Committee representing the 57th Assembly District.
Rabbi Shlomo Braun of Aleh, who is the community representative ofNY State Martin Golden served as the MC of this event and described to about 100 Rabbinic, civic and business leaders the importance of being involved in the political system, the importance of serving on jury duty, he appealed to spread the word to all the eligible voters to register and to vote, and what impact the community has in electing the appropriate state committee members to properly address the needs of the community at large. Rabbi Braun highlighted the integrity, and political leadership that Ms. Collymore has achieved, and invited her to address the audience.
