Monroe — The Community Foundation of Orange County, Inc., has named Tom Sullivan as the newest appointee to the organization’s board of directors. Sullivan is the owner and president of Smith, Seaman and Quakenbush, Inc., of Monroe, and he is an active community volunteer for Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, Sacred Heart Parish in Monroe, Mombasha Fire Company, the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, Orange County Firefighters Museum, various Orange County and New York State Firemens’ and Fire Chiefs’ Associations, and the Orange, Rockland and Sullivan Counties Funeral Directors Association.
