United Way of Central New York Appoints Carrie Large as new President and CEO

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The board of directors of United Way of Central New York has appointed Carrie Large as the organization’s new president and CEO, effective on Monday, Feb. 2.

Large will join the United Way of Central New York after most recently serving as the executive director of the Friends of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.

Described as a “seasoned nonprofit leader with a deep commitment” to the Central New York community, Large will succeed Nancy Kern Eaton, who retired on Dec. 31 after a distinguished career of service, the United Way said.

“After an extensive and rigorous search, it became clear that Carrie Large is the visionary leader we need to shepherd United Way of Central New York,” Kerry Tarolli, who chairs the United Way of Central New York board of directors, said in the announcement. “Carrie’s proven track record of operational excellence and her authentic passion for our community make her uniquely qualified to address the evolving needs of our neighbors.”
