A fervent believer in civil rights, Greenawalt attended the legendary March on Washington in 1963, where he left the event deeply inspired. Two years later, he left his law firm to work as legal services director for the Office of Economic Opportunity, which administered Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty programs.

Preserving nature is another of Greenawalt’s passions. Greenawalt served as chair of the Westchester County Parks Board, from 1998 to 2009. A close ally of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, Greenawalt was named to the parks board of the Taconic State Region of New York State Parks and would serve for 12 years, eventually becoming its chair

Bill is a former member of the board of directors of the Fairview Community Corp./Friends of TDYCC, a nonprofit supporting the educational, social, cultural and recreational programs and activities that take place within the Theodore D. Young Community Center in the Fairview Area of Greenburgh. All the members of the Town Board saluted Bill last night -appreciating his leadership and passion for public service.
