  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

  • Olana Announces New Interpretative and Education Staff
    For Immediate Release September 22, 2014 Media Contact/Interviews: Amy Hufnagel Director of Education (518) 828-1872 x 105 Image: Paul Banks and Amy Hufnagel join Olana’s team; photo credit: Melanie Hasbrook Olana Announces New Interpretative and Education Staff Hudson, NY – The Olana State Historic Site and The Olana Partnership are pleased to announce the hire of two new staff people: Paul Banks, the new Interpretive Program Assistant for the NY State Parks Department, and Amy Hufnagel, the new Director of Education at The Olana Partnership. They both joined the project in June and will work separately, but also in partnership, to enhance the educational and interpretive opportunities at Olana. Hufnagel will be designing and implementing k-12 field trip programs, planning public programs, working with curators and development staff. Banks will focus on delivering tours to the public, managing the docent staff, and assisting Kimberly Flook, Olana’s Site Manager, with all aspects of managing Olana. Together they will develop new tours and new outreach to expand Olana’s audiences. Banks and Hufnagel are thrilled at the opportunities for engaging the public in meaningful ways here at Olana. Banks remembers the first time he saw a Frederic Church masterpiece. The Icebergs at the Dallas Museum of Art not only stopped him in his tracks, it gave him a whole new appreciation for painting. Since then, his appreciation for art has only grown – as well as his career in communication and interpretation. As an Interpretive Park Ranger with the National Park Service (NPS) he was able to inspire people by telling the stories of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
