Member-Owner of the Month:

Haley Viccaro

This month we're delighted to shine a spotlight on Haley Viccaro (MO#1237), a civic champion whose love for Schenectady has grown alongside her commitment to the people and places that make this city special.

Originally from New Rochelle, Haley came to the Capital Region to attend the University at Albany, where she studied biology and journalism—and after choosing to make a home in the Capital Region, she fell in love with Schenectady. Haley purchased her first house in Schenectady and is now president of her neighborhood association, Boulevard Appreciation Neighborhood Association (BANA). (BANA is hosting its second annual Community Social event on Saturday, September 19 from noon to 3pm at The Plaza, between Glenwood and Parkwood boulevards - all are welcome!)

By day, Haley works at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) focused on climate communications for the agency and statewide. She also works part-time at Proctors theater, where you can find her selling tickets some evenings and weekends at the Box Office. Outside of work, Haley also serves on the city Planning Commission and is involved with several non-profits including on the boards of the Schenectady City School District Educational Foundation, Schenectady Shares, Junior League of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties, NY Urban Orchards, and previously served as president of the Schenectady Greenmarket. In her "free time" she enjoys reading, kayaking and archery, and spending time outdoors in the Adirondacks and Catskills.
