OSWEGO — The Oswego Health Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the health system, announced it has recently added William W. Crist and Tom Roman as new members of its board of directors.
Crist has called the Oswego area home since his early teens. He has more than 40 years of experience in education — from classroom teacher to superintendent of schools. He recently retired from the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Syracuse. Crist remains active throughout the community, serving on several nonprofit and volunteer boards in the area including the United Way of Greater Oswego County, Weston T Hyde Education Foundation, and ARISE advisory board. Crist’s wife, Carol, has spent her career as a nurse at Oswego Health, according to a news release from the health system.
Roman is the senior VP and chief lending officer at Fulton Savings Bank, where he is responsible for setting strategic direction and oversight for the management and development of all commercial and residential real estate and consumer-lending areas. His
banking career spans nearly 30 years throughout New York state, primarily serving the Central New York region, per the release. Most recently, Roman served as VP and senior commercial-banking relationship manager at NBT Bank and previously worked as a VP in the commercial banking divisions of Citizens Bank and Key Bank. Roman’s community activities include serving as president and board member for the Oswego Minor Hockey Association and as a board member for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Syracuse.
Rolling off the Oswego Health Foundation board after a two-year term are Craig Fitzpatrick and Ed Alberts, the health system said.
