Long-Time Board Member Josie Lawrence New President

NEW YORK, NEW YORK , UNITED STATES, August 2, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- PSS, a multi-service nonprofit agency that has served older New Yorkers and their families since 1962 (http://www.pssusa.org), announces its new slate of board officers. Josie Lawrence, who has served in every post since joining the board seven years ago, was named President.

Rounding out the board leadership team are the Hon. Patricia Nunez as Vice President; Andy Craven, Treasurer, and Christina Pagano, Secretary.

Lawrence succeeds Martha Ferry, who served as board president for the last eight years of her nine-year term on the board. Lawrence said it is a privilege to step into the “big shoes” Ferry leaves to fill at a time when the agency is re-emerging from the pandemic.

“It’s truly impressive what PSS was able to accomplish during COVID – even grow and expand,” said Lawrence, a recent retiree whose rich and varied professional career includes experience in geriatric services. She will serve on the Nominating Committee with board members Heather Mee and Jon Chui.

“We owe a debt of gratitude to Martha Ferry, whose hard work and financial acumen allowed us to position ourselves to thrive in an ever-changing world,” said PSS Executive Director Rimas Jasin. “Fortunately for PSS, Josie Lawrence also has the rich depth of experience and expertise to continue to carry on the vision. I truly look forward to working with her.”
