Implemented both short- and long-term corrective programs to address liabilities in the Town employees’ health insurance program


   Statement "It’s been my honor to serve for sixteen years on Guilford’s Board of Finance--the last fourteen as Chair. During my tenure, the BOF’s many successes came about because the board is such a capable and dedicated team. Most of our decision-making votes were unanimous; when they weren’t, debates were sincere and divergent opinions were respected.

Given another four years to serve Guilford, I pledge to bring an open mind to issues and to use my BOF experience and over twenty-five years of business experience to make sound fiscal decisions that will benefit the community."
