Bernstein: Lauren Rabin Would Bring a Fresh Voice to the BOE

Letter to the editor from Peter Bernstein, Board of Education Member, Oct. 27, 2015

Lauren Rabin is the consummate volunteer – she gives willingly to our community without ever asking for recognition in return. She shows up, she is prepared and is willing to serve all rather than come with preconceived notions.

Her interest in our town is apparent, having ably served on the RTM Finance Committee and the Greenwich Board of Social Services. Prior to that she served in a variety of PTA roles, including co-president of the Greenwich High School PTA, receiving the PTA Council Essence award in recognition for her efforts. She stepped forward to run for the Board of Education out of an interest in serving our students and our community.

Lauren’s thirty years in the high-tech industry would serve her well as we continue to implement our digital learning initiative. Our Board would be well served by her expertise in financial reporting/budgeting, data analysis and strategic/long-range planning.

I look forward to collaborating with Lauren on her desire to best serve the needs of all of our students so they can reach their highest level of personal achievement.

Please vote for Lauren Rabin for the Board of Education on November 3rd.

Peter D. Bernstein
Member, Greenwich Board of Education
