Paramus, N.J., August 28, 2024 – New Concepts for Living (NCFL), New Jersey’s premier provider of community residences, day programs, and therapeutic and behavioral services for adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), is proud to announce the appointments of Ron Krauskopf and Joseph Voytus to its Board of Trustees.
“We’re honored to add Ron and Joe to NCFL’s Board of Trustees,” said Steve Setteducati, Chief Executive Officer of New Concepts for Living. “As leaders in their respective fields, both professionals bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to our agency. We look forward to their contributions and expertise as we work diligently to expand our programs and provide high-quality support and services for New Jersey’s I/DD community.”
Ron Krauskopf has over 20 years of commercial banking experience, primarily working to support healthcare and not-for-profit industries. He is currently Executive Vice President, Head of Commercial Specialty Lending at Provident Bank, overseeing a division that includes healthcare and not-for-profit, as well as asset-based lending, equipment finance, SBA, mortgage warehouse, and insurance lending. Ron joined Provident as part of its completed merger with Lakeland Bank in May 2024. He previously held positions at CIT, Valley Bank, and Investors Bank. Ron graduated from The College of New Jersey with a B.S. in Finance and Economics and later earned his certificate of leadership and banking at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. He previously served on boards for Rutgers University’s School of Public Health and Seton Hall University’s Stillman School of Business.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to assist some of the top healthcare providers in my 20+ year banking career, but I immediately knew that New Concepts for Living was special,” said Ron Krauskopf. “Commitment and compassion are prevalent throughout the organization starting with executive leadership. Clients are embraced as family. The new Achievement Center in Paramus will enrich so many lives: it’s inspiring to be a small part of it.”
Joseph Voytus is an attorney and currently serves as the Business Administrator for the Borough of Montvale, N.J. Before entering public service, Joesph spent 15 years in private practice and was a partner with Boggia, Boggia, Betesh, and Voytus. His practice focused on municipal representation with primary or shared responsibility for day-to-day coordination with public officials in numerous municipalities including Montvale, Ridgefield Park, Emerson, Edgewater, and the Wyckoff Public Library. Joesph graduated from Boston College with a B.S. in Philosophy and received his J.D. from The George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C.
“At Boston College, we were taught to be ‘men and women for others.’ I can’t think of a better way to do that than through supporting and serving an incredible organization like New Concepts for Living,” said Joseph Voytus. “The organization’s mission to enhance the dignity and independence of adults with special needs is one that has particular importance to me and my family. I look forward to helping the organization further its impressive growth and the expansion of the services it offers.”
