Office of Finance & Operations

Welcome to the finance & operations section of the ECF website.

Headed by Michael Hwang, ECF’s CFO, our division provides for the following functions at ECF:

Finance

The finance department or business office, managed by Roura Rosales, handles all of ECF’s financial and accounting operations.  Our goal is to manage all aspects of ECF’s finances efficiently while meeting the school’s changing and growing programmatic and operational needs.

Human Resources & Payroll

Our HR department, headed by Trish Shelton, supports over 400 full-time and part-time faculty and staff. ECF is proud to offer highly competitive compensation and benefits programs, and we will continue to strive to achieve the best and most well-balanced programs for our employees.

Facilities Management

ECF’s two campuses are managed by our three directors of facilities– Joe Piselli at our Manhattan or Ethical Culture campus, and Gene Kivlan and Orlando Rivera at our Fieldston campus. Our goal is to provide secure, safe, environmentally sound, clean and comfortable venues for teaching, learning, and growth.

Campus Operations & Auxiliary Programs

Trish Shelton coordinates a variety of programs at ECF outside of the regular academic curriculum that range from after-school and vacation programs to private/public collaborations that engage ECF and the wider world. As we expand our campus, we will continue to assess these programs to ensure that our community is best-served.

Thank you for your interest in the office of finance & operations at ECF.
