Michael Wesolowski was appointed the new executive director of the Sea Tow Foundation. Established in 2007 by Sea Tow Services International Founder Capt. Joe Frohnhoefer, the 501(c)(3) foundation is dedicated to promoting boating safety and education.
Wesolowski, a recreational boater with a background in nonprofit marketing and communications, got hooked on working with charitable organizations when he volunteered for F.O.C.U.S. Greater Syracuse, a citizen-driven community building effort while living in the Syracuse, N.Y., area. Inspired by that endeavor, he helped Gallery 210, a for-profit art gallery also located in Syracuse obtain its nonprofit status, and quickly developed a passion for nonprofit work.
He went on to use his background in communications, marketing and sales he gained while at LM Sunrise Imprinted Products and Promotion to lead New Berlin Housing and Preservation Company, a nonprofit economic development organization located in New Berlin, N.Y. From there, Wesolowski went on to create development strategies for Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States, a national nonprofit rare disorder advocacy.
