Mayor Bill de Blasio Promotes Pinny Ringel to Assistant Commissioner for Mayor's Community Affairs Unit

Pinny Ringel, who’s been a senior advisor to NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio since 2014, has been promoted as Assistant Commissioner for the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit where he will continue serving residents of the five boroughs.

The Mayor's Community Affairs Unit (CAU) is the fundamental connection between City Hall and New York City residents throughout the five boroughs, according to a description on the City's website, with the primary mission to establish deep partnerships with communities in order to actively engage and mobilize New Yorkers in City government.

“I congratulate Pinny Ringel on being appointed Assistant Commissioner of the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein told BoroPark24. “Pinny is a model public servant who has served our City well for many years and this promotion proves positive of his great work for the residents of New York. Pinny is a true New Yorker and understands how to communicate and work with New York’s many diverse communities. Congrats, Pinny!”

The Mayor's CAU is also responsible for integrating government into communities by working with Mayoral agencies to ensure the effective and efficient deployment of government services to NYC residents.

“Pinny has been an outspoken advocate, supporter and friend for years. He has accomplished a lot on behalf of the Jewish community throughout the years as a senior advisor to the Mayor, and we look forward to what he has in store for the future,” said a Boro Park leader. “Mr. Ringel's promotion is an asset to NYC Government and will help deepen the relationship,” he added.
