Retired Brooklyn judge elected chair of City Tech Foundation
The City Tech Foundation (Foundation) is pleased to announce that it has elected the Hon. Alice Fisher Rubin, retired judge of the New York City Civil Court, as chair of the Foundation. Rubin had previously been serving as the Foundation’s vice chair and has been a board member since 1982.
Judge Rubin succeeds Martin Jaffe, who served the Foundation as chair for 22 years. A 1965 graduate of City Tech’s accounting program and co-founder and retired chief operating officer of Silvercrest Asset Management Group LLC, Jaffe was formerly COO of DLJ Asset Management Group and CFO of Credit Suisse Asset Management LLC. He was identified by Worth magazine as one of America’s top 50 financial advisers. He and his wife have established the City Tech Foundation’s Martin and Sharon Jaffe Scholarship Endowment Fund.
Responding to the challenge of increasing costs of higher education is the ongoing task of the Foundation. In addition to raising nearly $2.5 million for a variety of student scholarships and other financial assistance programs, the Foundation has secured $1 million more in recent years in donated equipment to enhance both the educational and operational activities of the college.
