President's Message


It is my pleasure to serve you as President of the Court Officers Benevolent Association of Nassau County. Allow me to assure you that along with the members of the Executive Board, we are doing everything we can, on your behalf, to protect our membership as we continue to serve the Nassau County court system and the residents who enter our courts every day.

I am sure you are aware that our contract expired on March 31, 2011. As the climate in New York continues to reflect our national economic crisis, we continue to work with your best interests in mind, and we will keep you informed. The members of the Executive Board are fully aware of the commitment of our membership, who continue to execute their responsibilities to the best of their abilities. Despite the reduction of staff, you have continued to serve the public with integrity and professionalism.

As of this writing, there will be no QTP or day care monies until a new contract is in place. Once again, Prescription Reimbursement forms are available on the COBANC website in the “Members Only” section or available from your delegate. Please remember, it is the responsibility of each member to maintain copies of receipts and other important information sent to Healthplex.

On behalf of the Executive Board, I thank you for the service and the protection you provide every day. We are proud to serve as your representatives and will continue to work tirelessly on your behalf. Together we are stronger than if we stand alone!  Happy and healthy holidays to all!

Fraternally,
 
John T. Clancy
