Matilda Raffa Cuomo has been a respected and distinguished advocate on behalf of women, children and families. As First Lady of New York State (1983-1995), she volunteered with state and elected officials and community leaders to establish programs to prevent child abuse, strengthen families, promote adoptions for foster care children and prevent school drop out. Mrs. Cuomo has been described as the most active First Lady in New York State’s history, dedicating herself full-time to chair and serve as chief spokesperson for the “New York State Decade of the Child”, Governor Cuomo?s initiative to improve the quality of and access to over 140 state programs for children and families. Mrs. Cuomo chaired the NYS Citizens Task Force on the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect and initiated the Parent Information Line, a computerized database of local resources that parents can access across the state, which still functions and receives 2000 calls each month.
