Trustees Elect Three Officers, Three New Board Members
The Rider University Board of Trustees has elected
three new officers for 2006-07 and approved three new board members.
Five are Rider alumni.
The board elected Gary L. Shapiro, owner and
president of Tropico Management, LP of St. Croix, as chairman
of the board. A 1972 Rider accounting graduate, Shapiro succeeds
Paul J. Lang, a retired vice president of The Prudential
Insurance Company of America and a 1968 Rider alumnus, who served
as board chair for four years and has been a board member for
eight years.
The board also elected Thomas J. Lynch, CEO
of Tyco Electronics of Princeton, as vice chair and Bonnie
Dimun, president of Dynamics for Change, Inc., as secretary.
Lynch graduated from Rider in 1975 with a degree in accounting.
Dimun earned her Rider undergraduate degree in business education
in 1967 and a M.A. degree in guidance and counseling in 1971.
Elected to three-year board terms are: Nancy H. Becker,
retired founder and president of Nancy H. Becker Associates; Gregory
A. Church, chairman, president and chief operating officer
of Church Capital Management of Yardley, PA; and Mark
C. DeMareo, assistant superintendent of schools in Jackson.
Church received a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1978 and
an MBA degree in 1982 both from Rider. DeMareo earned a Bachelor
of Music degree in 1978 from Rider’s Westminster Choir College.
“Each are successful leaders in their fields and bring
expertise and insight to the board that will be beneficial to
Rider’s renewal and educational mission,” said Rider
President Mordechai Rozanski. “Gary Shapiro
brings exceptionally strong leadership to the board and to our
institutional renewal efforts. I want to express deep appreciation
to Paul Lang for his outstanding leadership as board chair and
his commitment to Rider.”
