SYRACUSE — The Hiscock Legal Aid Society board of directors announced that in January it said “goodbye to long-time and dedicated” board members Anita Cottrell, JoAnn Wallace, Anthony J. Malavenda, Samuel C. Young, and Carl Pesko. Collectively, these members have served on the board for more than a century, the Society said in a news release.
“We are grateful for the energy, enthusiasm, and passion that each of these members brought to the Hiscock Legal Aid Society over the past decade,” said Linda Gehron, president and CEO of the Society. “Their efforts have helped us to promote justice for some of the most vulnerable people in our community.”
As the board says farewell to longtime members, it has named a new group of “engaged local citizens who can build upon the legacy” of the Society. John Buss, Patricia A. Lynn-Ford, Patricia J. Curtin, Shannon T. O’Connor, and Carol Dwyer will be joining the board at its March meeting.
Buss is a financial planner, Lynn-Ford is an insurance attorney, Curtin is a retired CPA, O’Connor is a lawyer, and Dwyer has worked for the Syracuse mayor’s office and for Syracuse University.
