Jaime Pagliaro has been appointed the first Chairman of the Board of Directors of Music For Autism (M4A). Pagliaro will lead the executive committee that will oversee M4A programming, fundraising and promotions.
Pagliaro has worked with autism for more than a decade. He was the founding Executive Director of the New York Center for Autism Charter School, which was the first charter school in New York City to exclusively serve individuals with autism. The school continues to receive national recognition as a model public school-based solution for children with autism spectrum disorders. More recently, Pagliaro began work as Executive Vice President of Business Development for Rethink Autism, a groundbreaking, market-based initiative that leverages the internet to deliver high quality educational resources to parents of individuals with autism.
“I am looking forward to working closely to advance the mission of M4A,” said Pagliaro, who noted that he is excited about his new role with M4A, as well as the organization’s great opportunity for growth.
“M4A proudly welcomes Jamie as chair of our Board and will benefit greatly from his talents and enthusiasm. I am delighted to be able to work closely with Jamie in this new role,” said M4A Executive Director Robert Accordino.
