Anthony V. Perrone was recently elected president

of The Alliance of Public Retiree Organizations of

New York by a unanimous vote of its membership.

A retired Manhattan and Staten Island police officer,

Perrone became a member of the alliance in 1993

representing New York City’s retired police officers and

has been serving as the organization’s secretary.

Perrone will take over as president Tuesday at a

ceremony in Albany when the organization will also be

celebrating its 17th anniversary and honoring its former

president, Edward F. Curran.

The alliance began in 1985 when six major New York

public employee and public retiree organizations, concerned

with the plight of retired municipal and school employees,

began to meet to discuss ideas for legislation to benefit

workers retired from government service. The group was

formalized in 1991 after experiencing an increase in the

number organizations that wanted to participate.

Today the alliance is comprised of 40 member

organizations, representing more than 500,000 former

government employees.
