“Afsheen has been a friend for years and we have worked together on several projects over that period. As a parent of a child with special needs, Afsheen truly understands and empathizes with the range of issues facing families in that situation, and it has informed her commitment to addressing such problems as bullying in our schools.

But she does not limit her involvement only to problems directly affecting her and her family. She is happy to roll up her sleeves and take the lead on tasks as diverse as crisis communications and facilities renovations. I am in awe of her energy, dedication, and thoroughness as I watch her juggle the needs of her consulting business, her family, her Board responsibilities, and her ongoing efforts to strengthen her qualifications by pursuing a Masters in Strategic Communications at Columbia University.

We as a community are lucky to have a person like Afsheen willing to serve in the capacity of school board member, and I urge all of you to come out and cast your vote for her on election day, to help ensure we continue to benefit from her talents in the coming years.”
