SYRACUSE — FOCUS Greater Syracuse announced that its board of directors recently named Rita L. Reicher as president of the board
The organization also appointed her predecessor, Donald Radke, to the new post of immediate-past president, to ease in the transition.
Reicher is a founder of the Syracuse–based marketing and consulting firm of KS&R. She retired as chair of the board and president of KS&R in 2018.
She earned a Ph.D. in economics from Yale University and has expertise in advanced analytics and modeling. Her primary area of knowledge is market research and related research such as needs assessment and program evaluation.
Reicher is a long-time resident of the city of Syracuse and a former city employee. Her interests include “developing a vibrant urban community with a strong, diverse young professional component,” according to a FOCUS Greater Syracuse news release
Reicher has been a volunteer with many nonprofit organizations over the years, most recently as chair of the Upstate Foundation, a member of the board of directors of the American Heart Association Syracuse Chapter, a trustee and current Finance Committee co-chair of All Saints Roman Catholic Church, and a member of the Women Presidents’ Organization locally and nationally.
FOCUS Greater Syracuse says it is a citizen-driven organization that educates, coordinates, and celebrates citizen involvement in improving the quality of life in Central New York.
