To the Editor:
I’m writing to express my strong and enthusiastic support for Annemarie Maini for South Orange Maplewood Board of Education. I was lucky enough to meet Annemarie in December of last year through the West Montrose neighborhood association. I am now a board member for the association and I’ve had the pleasure of working directly with Annemarie who also sits on the board. She’s not only a lovely person, but her intelligence and passion for making our community as good as it can be is so refreshing. Annemarie has amazing ideas for how to improve our community. And she’s committed to listening to all sides and to collaboration to get things done.
During our neighborhood events, you can instantly see Annemarie’s love for children and how great she is with them. And they love her! She always has a kind and gentle voice and a big smile. I would trust Annemarie with my kids because I know that she would always have their best interest at heart. And I believe that Annemarie’s personal and professional commitment to the successful development of all children is a major reason why she will be an important addition to the SOMA Board of Education.
Her leadership as the past co-president of the SOMS HSA and on Youthnet’s board has positively impacted many of our children and families. She is extremely knowledgeable about the district including curriculum, operations and budget and she will hit the road running.
Annemarie would bring a breath of fresh air and new ideas to the position which is exactly what I think is needed.
Please join me in voting for Annemarie Maini for Board of Education on November, 3, 2015.
Sincerely,
Kelly Faetanini
South Orange
