“Afsheen will come on to the Board from the non-profit world bringing a crucial background in economics and public relations…. Afsheen understands the need to look for savings wherever possible, but there is no way out of this crisis without a more serious effort to raise money from non-tax revenue sources than the Princeton schools have ever attempted. Afsheen sees the need clearly and is prepared to lead the way.”

Jeff & Laura Spear

“She works for change as a transformational leader with a collaborative style that considers the collective good of an organization as a whole… we both are mothers of a child with special needs (and) I have found Afsheen as someone who has the desire and fortitude to keep driving forward with insightful measures grounded in pragmatism.”

Elizabeth Sims-Pottle

“Her commitment to cost savings and program efficiency will be accompanied by an insistence that Princeton’s schools continue to strive for excellence. Afsheen believes that the district must be sensitive to our property tax burden and that solutions to the budget crisis must be multi-faceted, including the discovery of new funding streams.”

Margaret Griffin

“Afsheen shares my commitment to ensuring achievement for all students in our diverse community while emphasizing responsible stewardship of public funds and seeking new revenue sources for the schools.”

Timothy Quinn

“The common theme in all my interactions with Afsheen has been one of pursuing positive change through empowering individuals and seeking common ground. This approach to community activism, coupled with Afsheenﾕs warm, effective personal style, and her extensive experience on educational issues, uniquely qualify her to join our school board.”

David Cohen

“Afsheen is a great civil rights advocate and has advised my office with regards to racial profiling issues. Afsheen provided valuable insight into the experience of school students with regards to biased-based bullying via her testimony before the Bullying Commission. Afsheen and CAIR-NJ are an asset to our state because of their quest for justice and equality.”
