EXPERIENCE

Gary contributed his vision and leadership to building New York Cares into one of the leading nonprofit organizations in New York City, serving over eight hundred nonprofits and schools with education, hunger, and public spaces programming. During his tenure, New York Cares tripled its service delivery – executing more than 20,000 projects and filling 150,000 volunteer positions annually.
