City & State has partnered with AARP in highlighting 50 accomplished New Yorkers over 50, whose decades in local and state politics and government are worthy of recognition. This distinction includes AHRC NYC’s President, Raymond Ferrigno.
During his 30-year educational career, AHRC New York City President Raymond Ferrigno found that his true calling lay in helping children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As a parent with an autistic son, Ferrigno saw firsthand how AHRC New York City’s programs helped kids with these disabilities and their families. Ferrigno believes that working through the bureaucracy with parents so their child with these conditions does not get left behind is one of the most important parts of the job. “These moments are my proudest accomplishments,” he says.
