PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A business-backed lobbying organization that pushed for an overhaul of Rhode Island's public pension system last year has announced it has a new chairman.
John Galvin is the new chairman of EngageRI. He has served as the chief financial officer of Collette Vacations since 1989.
He succeeds Edward Cooney, who has served as chairman and president of EngageRI since its launch in 2011.
Cooney says Galvin brings a "deep and broad understanding" of the financial struggles of the state and its municipalities.
Galvin received an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a master's degree from Bryant University.
