In Memoriam: Patrick J. DiMotta

In Memoriam: Patrick J. DiMotta
Chairman of the Board, Past Board Member, and Community Advocate
Queens Public Communications Corporation 

It is with profound sadness that Queens Public Communications Corp. (QPCC) announces the passing of our esteemed Chairman of the Board, Patrick J. DiMotta.

 

A proud U.S. Navy veteran, Patrick first joined QPCC at the recommendation of former New York City Council Speaker Peter Vallone, bringing with him a deep well of experience from his work with numerous Queens County organizations. His appointment came during a formative moment in QPCC’s history, as Queens Borough President Claire Shulman was laying the groundwork for a company dedicated to developing community media for the borough. Patrick’s leadership and insight were instrumental in shaping QPCC into the award-winning media organization it is today.

 

Throughout his tenure, Patrick remained a tireless advocate for the residents of Queens. His influence touched every facet of the organization—from guiding QPCC through the Y2K transition and the shift from analog to digital production, to overseeing its financial health, strategic direction, and nonprofit compliance. As Chairman, he led with vision and integrity, chairing pivotal meetings that explored emerging platforms such as streaming media and internet distribution. His unwavering commitment to QPCC’s founding mission—to protect and promote freedom of speech—remained central to his work.

 

Patrick’s dedication extended well beyond the boardroom. As a member of the Alliance of Community Media, a national organization, he attended its annual conference. He was proud to be with his colleagues and was fond of the QPCC staff, as they were of him. His participation enabled him to stay abreast of technological advancements, ensuring the organization remained forward-thinking and responsive to the evolving media landscape.

 

His legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of QPCC and the broader Queens community. Patrick DiMotta’s impact will continue to resonate through the media, the neighborhoods, and the lives of those he served with such passion and purpose.

 

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.
