Mount Pleasant appoints new Ethics Board members

News

On September 8, the Mount Pleasant Town Board reconstituted the Board of Ethics, appointing three dedicated residents to serve three-year terms in these key volunteer positions. The newly appointed members—Raffaele G. Ferraioli, Shayna Dahan, and Frances Carlucci—bring an array of professional experience, public service, and integrity to the town’s governance. “The Town Board remains deeply committed to maintaining transparency and accountability across all levels of local government,” said Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi. “In appointing these three outstanding residents, we are ensuring that Mount Pleasant continues to operate under the highest ethical standards.” Raffaele G. Ferraioli, of Pleasantville, brings over 50 years of experience in entrepreneurship, public service, and political leadership across Westchester County and New York. As a founder and operator of a successful barbering and salon business since 1970, Ferraioli is widely recognized for his community advocacy, organizational leadership, and steadfast integrity. Thornwood resident Shayna Dahan, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Pediatric Mental Health Specialist, offers a unique and practical perspective on ethical decision-making. Working daily with families, schools, and community systems, Dahan’s work inherently relies on discretion, privacy, boundaries, and sound judgment—qualities that seamlessly translate to evaluating complex ethical issues for the town. Frances Carlucci, a 30-year resident of Hawthorne, brings essential oversight expertise as a professional internal auditor. Her extensive auditing background uniquely positions her to evaluate compliance with Article 18 of General Municipal Law and the Town’s Code of Ethics. Passionate about preserving the local quality of life, Carlucci is dedicated to advising municipal officers, employees, and board members on maintaining the highest moral and operational standards. Together, these three members embody the expertise and community dedication needed to uphold trust, fairness, and accountability throughout Mount Pleasant. As outlined in the Town Code, the Town Board must add an elected or appointed municipal officer or employee to the Ethics Board. The Town Board also intends to appoint an additional member next year to complete the five-person board.
