Terri L.
Eberle, Director of Government Relations The College of
New
Rochelle
When Terri L.
Eberle started her career at The College of New Rochelle in 1998 as
Director of Grants, she became a member of the Westchester County
Association. She not only learned that The WCA was an excellent platform
to help her advance CNR's agenda of building relationships with and
seeking funding from the government, corporations and foundations but in
connecting with her counterparts at other
colleges.
With her
promotion to Director of Government Relations four years ago, Ms. Eberle
joined the Government Affairs Committee. Early this year, she became a
member of the new Property Tax Reform Commission. "Being a member has
helped me to raise the visibility of the College not only with key
government officials but with the business community, as well," she
said.
Ms. Eberle
earned a B.A. degree with a major in political science from SUNY Albany
and a J.D. degree from George Washington University Law School. A resident of New Rochelle, she
serves on the Board of the Westchester Chapter of the League of
Conservation Voters. Among her hobbies, she ranks Lincoln-her
two-year- old-Cockapoo pup -- as
her favorite.
