NEWBURGH – Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress announced today that Adam Bosch, its president and CEO since 2022, will resign from his role at the end of the year.
Bosch will continue to serve Pattern as a special advisor during the leadership transition. The Pattern Board of Directors has convened a search committee to lead the process of selecting the organization’s next president and CEO.
During his time as Pattern’s sixth chief executive, Bosch led Pattern with a deep understanding of regional issues and a spirit of service. Bosch utilized Pattern’s research and planning efforts to help federal, state, and local leaders, civic organizations, and community partners make well-informed decisions about challenges and opportunities throughout the Hudson Valley. He led new research efforts on adaptive reuse and childcare, established an inter-regional planning partnership with New York City, and oversaw reports on housing stress and demographic changes that attracted national attention, Pattern stated in its press announcement.
“Leading the team at Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress has been one of the great honors of my life,” Bosch said. “My career has allowed me to work with so many wonderful, smart, and civic-minded people across the Hudson Valley and Catskills. I am grateful to the dozens of communities and organizations that invited me to share Pattern’s work, and to those who made important decisions based on our research and planning. I am proud that our work drove zoning and regional development decisions, influenced state programs on infrastructure and childcare, and completely reshaped the regional conversation about housing. There are few nonprofits like Pattern in the United States. The Hudson Valley is fortunate to have an organization that provides objective research, develops strategic planning, and convenes the region around issues that genuinely affect our quality of life.”
“With Adam Bosch as President and CEO, Pattern tackled many of the region’s most pressing quality-of-life concerns through ground-breaking research and robust communication,” Mary Beth Bianconi, Chair of Pattern’s Board of Directors, said. “Adam extended Pattern’s reach to new audiences and gave voice to the Hudson Valley in ways that attracted statewide and national attention. The breadth and depth of Pattern’s independent and directed research flourished under Adam’s direction. When we consider Pattern’s goals, we focus on moving the dial, being an honest broker, and examining topics that are regionally significant. Adam exceeded all expectations with respect to advancing Pattern’s mission.”
Upon his departure, Bosch will step into a senior leadership role at the New York City Water Supply, where he worked for 10 years before joining Pattern. Pattern Vice President of Operations Robin DeGroat, who has served the organization for more than 18 years, will manage the daily operations of Pattern until a new chief executive is hired.
Bosch started his career as a journalist in the Hudson Valley. He covered public affairs, courts and the environment for the Wallkill Valley Times, the Times Herald-Record, and in the Albany bureau of The New York Times. His work also appeared in several regional and national magazines. His work in journalism earned six Associated Press awards for investigative reporting, depth reporting, and breaking news coverage. Bosch also served as an adjunct professor of journalism for 10 years at SUNY New Paltz.
After leaving journalism, Bosch joined Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress in 2012 as vice president of research and external affairs. Bosch authored reports on the adaptive re-use of closed school buildings across the region, New York’s tax cap, and an investigation of Rockland County’s budget deficit. His examination of Rockland County’s fiscal crisis and recommendations to solve it earned Pattern the President’s Award from the Rockland County Business Association.
For nine years, Bosch has served as director of public affairs for the New York City water supply system. In that role, Bosch was responsible for community outreach, intergovernmental affairs, education programs and more. He served as the primary liaison between New York City and federal, state and local officials across the Hudson Valley and Catskills for issues related to the city’s reservoir system and its infrastructure.
Bosch was born and raised in the Town of Newburgh and graduated from Wallkill High School. He earned his bachelor’s degree from SUNY New Paltz and his master’s degree from Columbia University in the City of New York.
