Image of New RIOC President Leslie Torres After Being Appointed By RIOC Board of Directors
Leslie Torres is about to complete her first week of work as the President of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC).I asked her:

I hope your first week at RIOC is going well.

If you wish to share any thoughts or comments you have on your first week as RIOC President with the Roosevelt Island community, I would be happy to post them on the Roosevelt Islander blog.

I am sure the residents would be interested in what you have been doing, how you are getting acclimated to your new position and what are your top priorities as RIOC President.

Ms. Torres responded:

My first week has been a whirlwind of activity, filled with meetings with staff, developers and Roosevelt Island residents. I have met with so many people who are dedicated to Roosevelt Island and making the Island a great place to live, work and/or visit. It has already proven to be incredibly inspiring experience. A great first week indeed.

Will be interesting to find out what Ms. Torres discussed and learned from these conversations. I hope that she will share these thoughts with the Roosevelt Island community.
