DELMAR, NY – Four area leaders have recently been elected to serve on the board of directors of the Tech Valley School Foundation.
Eileen R. Lindburg of Loudonville, vice president, CB Richard Ellis, Albany; Dr. Barbara Nagler of Chatham, retired district superintendent of Capital Region BOCES; and Dale M. Thuillez of Loudonville, special counsel to the law firm of Thuillez, Ford, Gold, Butler & Young, LLP, Albany will serve on the board of directors of the foundation. John Cavalier of Loudonville, retired chairman of the board of MapInfo Corporation, was re-elected foundation president.
The foundation was created in 2007 to support the school and help raise funds to provide a margin of excellence for the school, according to Mr. Cavalier.
Tech Valley High School, which opened last September with its first class of 40 freshmen, focuses on math, science and technology and is a joint venture of Questar III BOCES and Capital Region BOCES. Together, in cooperation with 48 school districts in Albany, Columbia, Rensselaer, Schenectady, Schoharie, Saratoga and Greene counties, the BOCES have created this new school to expand the range of opportunities available to more than 124,000 students. The school is being shaped and sustained by an unprecedented partnership of K-12 educators with leaders from business, higher education, organized labor and government. It is initially housed at Pitney Bowes MapInfo in Rensselaer Technology Park, Troy, and is planning for its own facility in Rensselaer County at a site to be determined.
Thuillez is a member of the litigation department at Thuillez, Ford, gold, Butler & Young, LLP, Albany. He is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation and the New York State Bar Foundation and a trustee of Albany Law School, where he was an adjunct professor teaching trial advocacy.
