We believe that the following four candidates stand out in their high levels of demonstrated professionalism and volunteerism.
#2 Erica Cullmann – Offering a background in operations and facilities management, with more than 16 years of experience in RFPs, contract negotiations, vendor management, strategic planning and budgeting. An active leader in planning SPC family events (Halloween parties, Summerfest, etc.) and member of various Board-supervised committees.
#5 Aaron Lee Fineman – Has both run his own business and worked in marketing and communications for large organizations like the United Nations and CUNY, with strong knowledge of both marketing and technology. Volunteers his time and photography and design skills for initiatives like the Halloween parties and promoting the co-op’s shared office space, as well as for a number of neighborhood organizations, including the Lower East Side Girls Club.
#8 Hariette Skidelsky – Boasts a professional background is in retail management, paralegal work and child care. She is active in the Women’s Club, where she has gotten to know many of our middle-aged and older neighbors, but also has a 17 year old son and is attuned to the needs of young parents as well. She has served on a variety of board-supervised committees, including finance, energy and legal.
#9 Doron Stember – As a practicing and teaching physician, Doron listens, researches, consults with experts and synthesizes information prior to taking thoughtful, well- considered action in order to help others. Exactly as a good Board member should. He is motivated, energetic, fair-minded, and capable.
But whether or not you agree that these candidates are the best, the important thing is to vote.
