I have had many opportunities to work with Councilwoman Linda Geevers over the last eight years. As a member, then president of my homeowners’ association board for many years I learned a lot about the importance of openness, transparency, and good governance from watching Linda lead the council as its president, vice president, and liaison to many appointments. I know that I have been inspired to apply these traits to my own responsibilities at Windsor Haven.
Our association faced some challenging issues during those years, and Linda was always the person I could reach out to for clarity and for thoroughness in reviewing and investigating potential solutions. Her background is helpful as she has worked in real estate sales and even served for seven years on a condominium board prior to moving to West Windsor 18 years ago.
Both Linda and I served on the West Windsor Planning Board at different times. We both feel strongly about taking a collaborative approach to decision-making and towards long-term strategic thinking. Whether it has been as a council member or a WW-P School Board member, Linda has been a part of many of the positive changes around town, most recently the renovation of the Windsor Shopping Center, the soon to be completed West Windsor commuter parking lot off of Alexander Road, and the award of the contract for services for the Little Bear Brook Flood Hazard Assessment.
Though my association is just one small area of town, Linda continues to reach out for input on many issues and projects that impact us. She has made sure that I am aware of action items that may affect us and wants to make sure that all voices are heard. I particularly appreciate that Linda gathers opinions in addition to her own before making a final decision and casting a vote.
For Linda’s tenacity, inclusiveness, and tremendous passion for making West Windsor the best place for all of us to live, I wholeheartedly encourage you to join me in voting for the re-election of Councilwoman Linda Geevers.
