René Halasy
I have worked at RNeighbors since 2006, where I focus on efforts to improve community livability. Collaboration is a continual theme throughout my work as a single staff person working directly with neighborhoods, the City of Rochester departments and elected officials, as well as many different community service groups and nonprofits. Each resource provided gives neighbors opportunities to meet each other and develop relationships.
I have enjoyed being a part of the Rochester community since 2001. Prior to my current job I was employed as the Communications Coordinator at the Rochester Public Schools. Both in that job and with RNeighbors, I get to meet amazing and diverse people who share in the desire to strengthen the community of Rochester.
