WCC Program Administrator Named A Top Female Business Leader for 2021
Gabrielle Fox, Program Administrator at Westchester Community College, has been named by 914Inc as one of this year’s top female leaders in Westchester County. Ms. Fox was honored today at the magazine’s 11th Annual Women in Business Awards.
Throughout Ms. Fox’s job responsibilities at Westchester Community College, service to the community is a significant theme. Among other duties, Ms. Fox serves as a liaison officer between the school and the Collegium for Lifelong Learning, a member organization closely associated with the college that offers educational opportunities to retirees and other senior members of the community.
In addition to her service at WCC, Ms. Fox is the founder and artistic director of Theatre Revolution, a company that assists local theater and performing companies in enhancing their profile and promoting their productions.
Theatre Revolution was founded by Ms. Fox in 2016 and was an outgrowth of her career as a playwright. Ms. Fox’s mother was an actress and singer, and she grew up in an atmosphere dominated by the arts.
Prior to the pandemic, Theatre Revolution began producing their own shows, and even founded the first women’s playwright festival in the Hudson Valley. Theatre Revolution’s objective is to promote diversity within each community they help develop, in the process promoting underrepresented voices.
Of the award, conferred at a recent luncheon at the Sleepy Hollow Hotel & Conference Center in Tarrytown, Ms. Fox says,
“I feel really grateful and lucky to be representing the arts in our community, and I am hoping it draws more attention to what a vibrant community of artists we have in this area. I am also grateful to be able to promote lifelong learning in my role at WCC. The wealth of arts and adult learning opportunities help Westchester County provide an enriching lifestyle for all of its residents.”
