2026 NY Black Trailblazers

City & State is so excited to partner with New York State Association of Black and Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislators on opening night of Caucus Weekend. At 9pm at the Hilton Albany we are going to celebrate and recognize our 2026 Black Trailblazers list.

We are excited to celebrate these groundbreaking individuals, who come from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and represent corporations, advocacy groups, government and institutions.

Join us for a night of celebration, networking, recognition and more as we work to shine a light on our Black Trailblazers this year.
