Three Accomplished Alumni Join Adelphi's Board of Trustees

Garden City, NY (06/22/2022) — The Adelphi University Board of Trustees has elected three new members: Kevin Goodman, Kevin G. Mahony and Jose Singer Weisinger. They join Adelphi's board totaling 24 individuals dedicated to guiding and serving the University.

"I am pleased to welcome three new members of this impressive group-each with a deep connection to Adelphi and bringing unique talent and knowledge to our leadership," said President Christine Riordan, PhD, in a community announcement. "They will add greatly to the vision for, and momentum of, Adelphi's growth and success. I look forward to their contributions to our University's board of trustees."

Since 2019, Goodman has served on Adelphi's President's Advisory Council, bringing valuable input and direction to key University initiatives. He earned a BS in business in 2000 and a MBA in 2002-both at Adelphi. Throughout his more than 17 years of corporate experience, Goodman has driven revenue growth, innovation and business transformation in leadership roles with Fortune 100 and mid-market companies. He recently took on the role of global director of member and customer enablement at LinkedIn, a division of Microsoft, where he oversees a global team that plays a major role in supporting LinkedIn's member, customer and vendor strategy. Goodman is also an executive coach, founder and adviser for startups and cryptocurrency initiatives.

Mahony is a senior vice president of Eagle View Wealth Management at UBS Financial Services, Inc. In this role, his team works with a select group of exceptional multigenerational families, real estate investors and professionals, offering advisory services for private wealth. With extensive experience in trust and estate administration, he specializes in legacy planning solutions and has a deep understanding of charitable giving strategies. A 1983 graduate of Adelphi's Robert B. Willumstad School of Business with a degree in finance, he remains an active supporter of the School and its students. In 2019, Mahony generously endowed the prize funding for Adelphi's Business Plan Competition, a yearly opportunity for students to test their entrepreneurial skills in a Shark Tank-style competition. He has also shared his expertise and leadership as part of the Adelphi's President's Advisory Council since 2019.

Singer earned a BS in business administration from Adelphi in 1973 and was the recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University in 2020, which was formally conferred at this year's Commencement ceremony. Since his time at Adelphi, Singer has been a leader in both the private and public sectors, with vast experience in industry, strategic planning, senior management and international business. He is currently adviser on international affairs to the president of the Dominican Republic and, since 2014, has served as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary in service to the executive branch. As such, he oversees diplomatic relations and agreements that strengthen the development of his country. He has also served various boards of directors and associations of interest in the Dominican Republic for more than three decades.
