WPCNR STAGE DOOR. By John F. Bailey. January 12, 2006: WPCNR has learned of two more changes in the makeup of the White Plains Performing Arts Cener Board of Directors. Yesterday, Ted Lawson, Director of Economic Development for the City of White Plains, told WPCNR he was a member of the board, which WPCNR had not been aware.
This morning, Peter Gisondi, Sr., through his secretary, acknowledged to WPCNR that he, Gisondi, remained on the Board of Directors but was no longer the Treasurer. Gisondi's secretary reported when asked if Mr. Gisondi could confirm that Ted Peluso, had assumed the duties of Treasurer, she said "He has."
Ted Peluso is a financial consultant for the City of White Plains and a member of the city Budget Management Commitee is now also a member of the Board and assumes the responsibilities of Treasurer for the Theatre. A Board source said Mr. Peluso had joined the board in October and was present at the October meeting, of the Board.
The makeup of the WPPAC Board has changed over the last four months, with Eli Schonberger and Patricia Keegan resigning in September to devote time to other interests, as reported by WPCNR this week. Going forward the Board continues to be comprised of Rick Ammirato, Louis Cappelli, Peter Gisondi, Sr., Marsha Gordon, Thomas Hales, Ted Lawson, Peter Palazzo, Ted Peluso, Dr. Jeffrey Schlotman, and Chauncey Walker.
