Sam Rivera has been appointed Vice President of Exponents, Inc.   The announcement was made by Exponents’ Founder and President Howard Josepher, LCSW at Friday night’s 108^th graduation of the ARRIVE Program. 

“Like many of us at Exponents, Sam turned his life around from one of drugs and crime to become a contributing member of society,” said Josepher. “He is an example of the transformative power of turning a negative into a positive and becoming a source of healing and hope for others.”

 Rivera graduated ARRIVE in 1992 and has been working with the agency since 2007.  He has 20 years of direct and administrative experience in substance abuse treatment, criminal justice and HIV/AIDS prevention and care.  He is the former Community Co-Chair of the NYC HIV Prevention Planning Group, a former member of the NYC Department of Health Commissioner’s Advisory Board and former Co-Chair of UCHAPS (Urban Coalition of HIV/AIDS Prevention Services).

 Josepher noted that Rivera’s appointment is part of Exponents’ strategic plan to ensure the agency’s continued legacy providing strength-based programs focusing on the health and wellness of participants. “I want everyone to know that I believe the agency would be in good hands should my role change,” said Josepher. “For now, I don’t see that happening and I want people who care to welcome and accept this announcement with happiness for Sam and understanding that we are looking out for the future.”
