After reviewing the candidates’ biographies, hearing their presentations at Meet the Candidates, and reviewing the records of those who have already served, we believe that the two incumbents (#2 Kate Nammacher and #3 Wei-Li Tjong) and the candidate who previously served (#1 Pietro Filardo) stand out as best able to help run our coop.

The three of them bring architecture (Pietro), non-profit management (Kate) and legal (Wei-Li) expertise. All three have deep roots in our community and strong connections to residents young and old (Pietro and Kate are parents, Wei-Li grew up here as a child himself). And all three have solid reputations as cooperative and helpful members of the Board with many accomplishments and contributions on our collective behalf.

As the coop continues to face escalating recurring costs and embarks on a long-overdue renovation of our grounds and ground floor spaces, we need Board members who bring relevant skills, experience and institutional memory to the table.

Regardless of your candidates of choice, please do not forget to vote!

Your neighbor,
