Shineman Foundation adds three from Oswego business community to its board of directors

OSWEGO — The Richard S. Shineman Foundation recently elected three new members to its board of directors.

Joining the board of the nine-year-old foundation — which to date has awarded more than $13 million in grants and gifts to not-for-profit organizations around Oswego County and Central New York — are local entrepreneur Ed Alberts; Pamela Caraccioli, newly appointed president and CEO of Fulton Savings Bank; and Neelesh Shah, CEO and president of Performance Logic Inc.

Alberts, Caraccioli, and Shah began three-year terms following their election at the Shineman Foundation board’s annual meeting on Jan. 19. They succeeded the foundation’s founder and former trustee Barbara P. Shineman; Thomas Schneider, president and CEO of Pathfinder Bank; and Gary Shanley, owner of Glider Oil Co. — each of whom served the maximum three terms on the board of directors.

“The three new board members know the greater Oswego community well, and have a broad range of experience. The current Shineman board members are looking forward to working with them and the expertise they bring to support the mission of the Shineman Foundation,” Kathleen Fenlon, board chair, said in a Jan. 25 news release.
