Long-time OFC board member recognized for 25 years of service
NORWICH – Opportunities for Chenango’s Board of Directors met Wednesday night to recognize long-time member Daryl C. Mulwane for his 25 years of service to the organization.
According to OFC Executive Director Wayne Viera, Mulwane’s long association with OFC began a quarter century ago as a parent involved with its Head Start program. Since then, he’s served in many capacities with the non-profit organization’s board of directors, twice as its president, as secretary and vice president, and as a member representing Chenango County’s low income population. He has also served with numerous committees over the years, added Viera, including OFC’s Head Start and Literacy Volunteers programs, as well as its Advisory Board.
Said current OFC Board of Directors President Holly Abbott, “I think his passion was to help people in any way he could to better themselves, which is our goal ... we’re going to miss his expertise because he knew this organization inside and out.”
Abbott presented Mulwane with the organization’s annual Community Service Award plaque at last night’s gathering, which states, “For 25 years of outstanding service on the Board of Directors of Opportunities For Chenango, Inc. and his never ending commitment to fighting the ‘War on Poverty’ in the County of Chenango.”
Abbott added, “We’re here tonight to honor a person that epitomizes what OFC is all about ... we’re very fortunate to have had Daryl with us for so long.”
Mulwane, who arrived at last night’s presentation with his wife, children and grandson in tow, recalled his first experiences with OFC and its board of directors. Over the past 25 years, he saw the organization’s current location at 44 West Main St. take shape and remembered attending board meetings in the County Office Building, long before such a space was even available.
“Thank you very much,” said Mulwane, a lifelong Chenango County resident. “I appreciate this and it’s an honor to me.”
According to Viera, the most important thing Mulwane brought to the organization was his knowledge of its history. With 25 years of experience, both Viera and Abbott called Mulwane an invaluable asset.
“What I admire about Daryl is his commitment to the people in this county that don’t have what a lot of other people may have,” added Abbott. “That’s why we’re here tonight.”
