Immigrant ARC elects new Board officers and new Steering Committee

New York, NY  (July 6th, 2022) – Immigrant ARC is pleased to announce the appointment of four new officers to its Board of Directors and an all new steering committee.

Stacy Caplow will serve as Secretary of the Board, and Elise de Castillo will serve as the Board’s Vice Chair. The I-ARC Board will be chaired by Priya Gandhi-Abriano and Omar Beer will serve as Board Treasurer. 

“I-ARC is not your run of the mill not for profit,” says Chairwoman Gandhi-Abriano, adding, “On paper, the purpose of I-ARC is to bring together organizations to create a shared resource, but in reality, it's a safe place for organizations to bounce ideas off of one another and to gather together as a community, something that has never existed before but was desperately needed.”

Gandhi-Abriano goes on to say, “I-ARC will continue to be the first stop providers go to for resources and that we continue to make a difference in the lives of immigrants in NY. I would love to see more member organizations sign on to our initiatives and to see more funding come through.”

“We’ve established our concept over the last five years,” says I-ARC Executive Director Camille Mackler, adding, “The new Board officers will be instrumental in taking all of our hard work to the next level. I’m really excited for what’s coming next for us and our members.” 

Immigrant ARC has also appointed a new steering committee for the first time in five years, which is, according to Mackler, “The most diverse, and the most reflective of the communities that we serve that it’s ever been.”
