Nominee for Assistant Treasurer

Luigi Scorcia

I’m running for Assistant Treasurer because Manhattan Plaza deserves careful stewardship, clear records, and honest communication about its finances. I bring an accounting background and experience serving as the MPTA’s Assistant Treasurer. I believe every member of our community deserves openness, fairness, and—above all—transparency. Service has been part of my life. I am a 9/11 first responder, a longtime SAG-AFTRA member, and a volunteer tax preparer with the Volunteer Income... more

Nominee for Assistant Treasurer

Rudy Lowe

I have been a performer throughout my life, so I understand our community's needs. As assistant treasurer, I will support the treasurer as needed. I recently left a position at a major university where part of my job was to ensure our organization's finances were accounted for properly. I will bring a fresh voice to the Manhattan Plaza community's concerns and address them with management in a timely, professional manner.

Nominee for Assistant Secretary

Paul Siebold

Good evening, neighbors. I’m Paul Siebold, a Manhattan Plaza resident since 1999. My husband, Mark Krieger, and I have shared this home for over 20 years. We’re raising Morgan, 15, and Cooper, 12 - an opportunity we couldn’t have afforded in our city without Manhattan Plaza.

Our school journey includes Midtown West, Lab Middle School, and Morgan’s high school near Lincoln Center. Morgan is on the autism spectrum, making understanding especially personal: not every challenge is visible, and kindness shouldn’t require knowing someone’s story... more
