SYRACUSE — Vita DeMarchi, managing partner at Synapse Partners, LLC and Synapse Sustainability Trust, Inc., was recently elected chairwoman of the Board of Trustees at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF).
DeMarchi was first appointed to the 15-member ESF Board of Trustees five years ago, by then-New York Gov. David Patterson.
DeMarchi has long been a champion of women and minorities entering STEM professions and has mentored young professionals wherever she has worked, Synapse says. She was born and raised in Syracuse, where she put herself through college, earning a bachelor’s degree in geology and completed master’s studies in environmental engineering and hydrogeology at Syracuse University. DeMarchi built her career as an environmental adviser for prominent international environmental and engineering firms, according to Synapse.
