Saleem Cheeks '01, Senior Account Supervisor/Public Affairs for Eric Mower & Associates
A proud graduate from the State University of New York at Oswego, Saleem Cheeks quickly built himself a distinguished career in politics and public relations.
As an appointee of former New York Governor George E. Pataki from 2001 to 2006, his titles included policy analyst and deputy director for legislative affairs. In addition, he also served as deputy press secretary to the Governor, where he was the spokesperson for policy areas including economic development, homeland security, gaming, emergency management, Indian affairs, transportation, local government, parks and historic preservation and military affairs.
In 2004, he took a leave from his role in the Governor's office to serve as deputy director for transportation during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. He has since managed campaign events for several presidential candidates.

In his more than six years with EMA, Saleem has led an award-winning public affairs/community outreach campaign that lead to the permitting of a major, $300+ million economic development project, as well as a successful statewide public advocacy initiative to pass New York's property tax cap.
For over three years, Saleem contributed as a columnist to the Albany Times Union business section feature, "WorkBytes".
He serves as a trustee for two public charter schools located Albany, New York; Achievement Academy, a middle school, and Henry Johnson, an elementary school where he also serves as vice-chair. Saleem is also a member of the SUNY Oswego College Council, where he has served for nearly seven years.
