Norma Resignato Retires from Finance Department
Norma Resignato, who has retired after 21 years of service with the Accounts Payable section of the Finance Department, was honored by friends, colleagues and family at a retirement reception held in the Griffis Faculty Club on June 1.
"Norma, it's been a privilege to share 21 years worth of experience with you. Trading the latest news about family members or simply exchanging a friendly wave has been a comforting way to start each day. We all wish Norma the very best of luck in her retirement," said Patrick Kane, Weill Cornell controller, who spoke on behalf of Edward Walsh, senior director of the Finance Department, who was unable to attend due to a prior engagement.
