FULTON, N.Y. — Oswego Industries announced it has added Michele Hourigan of the Oswego Health Foundation to its board of directors.
The agency, which has been operating in Fulton since 1968, says it “empowers people with disabilities to live rich, fulfilling lives of their own choosing.”
Prior to joining Oswego Health, Hourigan was the HR associate at Oswego Industries and The Arc of Oswego County.
“I developed such strong connections with the individuals supported by the agency and I care so strongly about the work they do there,” Hourigan said in an Oswego Industries news release. “It is a huge honor to be joining the Board of Directors.”
Hourigan said she hopes to be able to connect Oswego Industries with new relationships to assist with marketing, business-service contracts, and other relevant pursuits. “I meet so many people through my work with Oswego Health,” said Hourigan. “The right introduction at the right time can make a world of difference to everyone involved.”
Hourigan graduated with a bachelor’s degree in public justice from SUNY Oswego, and is a lifelong resident of Oswego. Her passion for the work the agency does and her deep ties to the community are strong assets, and Oswego Industries said it is looking forward to working with her in her new role on the board.
For more than 50 years, Oswego Industries has provided services and supports for adults with disabilities while partnering with local businesses to deliver production and workforce solutions. Its programs include day habilitation, community habilitation, family-support services, and vocational and employment supports.
