Riconda fills one of three Exec. Board
vacancies
Petitioning ended April 22 to fill three mid-term
vacancies on the PEF Executive Board.
As the only certified candidate for Board Seat 325, Gerard Riconda has been
seated and now represents PEF members at Hudson River Psychiatric Center
(PC), Mid-Hudson PC, Central NY PC, and in some cases, the state Office of
Mental Health (OMH) Main Office.
Multiple candidates were certified for Board Seats 210 and 230 and will
compete in elections for those seats.
Matthew Litt, Carl Franklin, Mark Seidner and Catherine Kozlowski are
candidates for Seat 210. It represents all PEF members at the state
Insurance Fund statewide who work in field services, premium auditing,
customer service, underwriting and vocational rehabilitation.
Helen Esposito, Sally Weibel and Robert Varano are candidates for Seat 230,
representing all PEF members at the state Labor Department in PEF Regions
5-7.
Ballots were mailed to those constituencies May 12. They must be returned to
the American Arbitration Association by June 3, for counting June 4 in New
York City. — Sherry Halbrook
