Board Changes

Ray Lutzky ’02, Chair of the Board of Directors of Friends of the Folsom Library, proudly announced to the board today the election of Rick Hartt ’70 to serve a two-year term on the board. The board voted electronically, and it was unanimous. Rick, former Director of the Rensselaer Union for nearly 33 years, will serve a two-year term. I’m confident that I can say we all look forward to working with him.  Welcome aboard, Rick!

Dennis Fitzgerald '61

Additionally, the board reluctantly has to say good-bye to Dennis Fitzgerald '61.  He's been a member of the Friends board since 2006.  Dennis, who completed over 31 years of transit management at the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) in Albany, served nearly 23 years as CDTA’a Executive Director, making him one of the longest tenured CEOs in the transit industry. Dennis either chairs or is a member of several committees, panels, and boards and unfortunately found it necessary to resign from the Friends board due to a scheduling conflict. He will be missed, but I know I’ll see him at a future Friends event; Dennis has always been a big supporter of Friends and our programs. Thanks for your service, Dennis!
