He will serve on the board’s Budget & Finance and Marketing Committees. Toriello earned a bachelor’s degree from Brooklyn College and his juris doctorate from St. John’s University School of Law.
“It’s wonderful that John has joined the college’s Board of Governors. His knowledge of insurance and finance is invaluable and we are grateful that he is willing to give generously of his time for the benefit of the college. As a resident of the county, he understands and appreciates the value the college adds to the local community,” Richel said.
