The Brownfield Coalition of the Northeast has named a new slate of executives to lead the organization through 2023 and beyond.
The regional nonprofit, in a move by its board of directors, said it has selected Melina Ambrosino as president and Almariet Roberts and Nancy Struzenski-Farrell as vice presidents. In addition, the board has appointed Anne Lazo as executive director and Michelle Hurley as assistant to the director, as it continues its mission of promoting redevelopment of underutilized properties to the benefit of local economies.
“This succession of leadership demonstrates the strength of the organization, which has so many dedicated and experienced professionals that are willing to commit their time to leadership roles,” said Rick Shoyer, BCONE’s outgoing president.
BCONE’s membership includes individuals from private companies, government agencies and academic institutions that are active in the real estate, lending, legal, insurance, engineering, environmental, contracting and other sectors that support redevelopment projects.
“I am excited for the opportunity to lead BCONE, and look forward to fulfilling its mission,” Ambrosino said. “The new leadership team considers benefits to our members to be of primary importance, and we will continue to engage them to ensure BCONE provides high value webinars, seminars, networking events and trade shows, such as our annual Northeast Sustainable Communities Workshop, which was a great success last year.”
