Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 20,2019 Page 7 Councilmember Laliberte indicated she was very interested in serving on this board, commenting that NYFS does important work. She knew the City Council was engaged with this organization and knew that would continue. She thought she had some specific background and experience right now that would be benefi- cial to the NYFS organization. She has recently been through a non-profit board's executive director search, and Mayor Roe being on the sub-committee for that would allow her to learn how to go to the point of the hiring process and the onboarding process for a new executive director. Laliberte highlighted her back- ground in healthcare, understanding there is always a challenge with mental health insurance company reimbursements and hoped she could help in that ca- pacity. Groff moved, Roe seconded, appointing Laliberte to the Northeast Youth and Family Services Board of Directors.
