Previous to that, he was executive director of the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery for New York City, commissioner for the Department of Homeless Services in New York City, executive deputy commissioner of New York City’s Human Resources Administration, and deputy commissioner of its Job Center Operations.
Diamond received his law degree from New York University and a bachelor's degree in political science and economics from Brown University.
Diamond will succeed Alan Trager, who has been CEO at WJCS for 20 years and at the organization for 42 years.
“I am pleased to pass the baton to Seth Diamond,” Trager said. “I’ve no doubt that with his background, expertise, and values, Seth will build on WJCS’s key strengths that we’ve developed over many decades and continue to expand the organization’s impact in benefitting Westchester residents.”
