Dear Coalition Members and Friends,
Happy New Year! I am thrilled about what 2025 has in store for the Coalition!
First, we recently held our annual board and officer elections. After seven incredible years leading the Coalition, our founder and visionary leader, Paul Wolf, has decided to step back. Paul has been instrumental in building the Coalition into the #1 advocacy organization for open and transparent government in New York State, and we cannot thank him enough. He will remain with the organization as President Emeritus and in-house legal expert.
I am honored to take over the role of president. While I fully recognize the big shoes I have to fill, I am excited to take the Coalition to the next level. We also have an exceptional new board and leadership team in place.
Executive Committee:
• Axel Ebermann, President
• Michelle Allen, Vice President
• Ken Guarino, Treasurer
• Alberta Roman, Secretary
Board Members:
• Stuart Alan, M.B.A.
• Darlene Bolsover
• Brad Racino
• Christine Czarnik
• Sonia Dusza
• Robyn Gray
• Maria Tisby
• Janet Vito
Most importantly, the Coalition would be nothing without you—our members and supporters. Your passion for open, transparent, and accountable government inspires and drives us. We truly appreciate your ongoing support.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas. I look forward to working with all of you in 2025 to make a meaningful impact.
Best
