Honorees' Bios:

Carolyn Cunningham is FCWC's longest serving Board Member. She first became involved with FCWC in 1980 and served as Executive Director from 1981- 1985. Her experience with FCWC led her to pursue her law degree, which she earned from Pace Law in 1988. Even while starting her new career and raising her children, Carolyn played an active role on the FCWC Board. During her tenure at FCWC, Carolyn served as Vice President and Treasurer. As a resident of Rye, she very early on became concerned about the noise from the Westchester County Airport, and this became her signature issue during her time with FCWC. She also chaired the membership committee for over a decade.

Paul Presendieu is currently majoring in environmental studies at SUNY Purchase. He has been interning with FCWC for the past couple of years, and during this time has created a Student Network of environmentally engaged students throughout the County and developed a Young Professionals Board for FCWC. Earlier this year, he organized a Youth Climate Action Leadership Summit that unfortunately needed to be postponed due the the COVID-19 pandemic, but was able to take that momentum to organize webinars for students. Paul is leading FCWC Student Advocacy work. He is also a member of the City of Rochelle's GreeNR Committee and an active member of Westchester County's chapter for the United Nations Association.
