OCC appoints Lisa Moore as executive director of OCC Foundation

ONONDAGA, N.Y. — Onondaga Community College (OCC) has appointed Lisa Moore as vice president of development and executive director of the OCC Foundation.

The school announced the appointment in a news release issued Monday.

Moore replaces John Zacharek, who left the position March 2 for a similar role at Binghamton University, Roger Mirabito, OCC’s communications coordinator, said in response to an email inquiry from CNYBJ.

Moore has more than 25 years of experience in “all aspects” of fundraising, including major gifts, annual fund and planned giving; special events; donor relations and stewardship, OCC said in its news release.

She most recently served as the director of development for Syracuse University’s (SU) Say Yes to Education program, where she oversaw a $20 million endowment campaign, raising money for initiatives to help students in the Syracuse City School District pursue a college education.

Prior to joining Say Yes to Education, Moore was SU’s assistant dean for advancement in the College of Arts and Sciences, and served in development positions in SU’s office of planned giving and with the Orange Club.

She has also held development positions with the Central New York Community Foundation, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ithaca College, and at St. Bonaventure University.

Moore earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communication from St. Bonaventure, according to her LinkedIn page.
