SARATOGA SPRINGS — Sarah Delaney Vero, an experienced attorney and human resources professional and Skidmore College’s current strategic HR advisor, has been named inaugural general counsel and vice president for human resources at Skidmore College, effective July 10.
Vero began her work with Skidmore in 2008 as outside counsel with the Office of Human Resources. In 2016, she stepped in as interim Title IX coordinator and became interim chief human resources officer in 2018. Named interim human resources director in 2020, she developed and executed strategies around workforce development and inclusion, talent management, organizational management, training, and many other areas.
Last summer, Vero agreed to serve Skidmore in a part-time role as Skidmore’s strategic HR advisor.
“Sarah has served as a strategic partner regarding key organizational, employee, and management projects. She has always provided exceptional advice and counsel in support of Skidmore’s mission, vision, and values,” said Skidmore College President Marc C. Conner in a press release. “I look forward to her continued leadership in supporting the people who work every day to make Skidmore a vibrant community.”
Vero holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from Union College and a Juris Doctor from Albany Law School.
“I am truly honored by the opportunity to continue serving Skidmore College in this inaugural role. As outside counsel and through my interim roles at Skidmore, I have learned what it means to be part of this wonderful community,” said Vero.
Her appointment is the result of a national search that began in April and was supported by Storbeck Search.
