Letter from our President Rich Vandenburgh:
(6/11/21)

Good Afternoon.  We have now completed the voting and review for validation of those votes and can announce the results of our BID Board Seat Elections.  

While I believe it is critical to constantly enlist new blood to keep our thought leadership fresh and vibrant, it is also important to retain talented and creative people who consistently add to the efforts of our Board.  
 
So it can be difficult when such talent and experience departs from our Board. While such results can present conflict in emotion, it is a sign of better overall engagement from our membership and offers positive opportunities to grow even stronger as a BID community. 
 
Accordingly, we received 45 total votes.
 
Owners Richard Vandenburgh and Deborah Pitterino were re-elected with a total of 15 votes. 
The Tenant race was much closer with four candidates receiving a total of 30 overall votes. 
 
David Abatelli was the overall winner with 11 votes.  
Stephanie Sack and Gail Barlow each received 7 votes for a tie.  
 
Additionally Jonathan Weiskopf has submitted his resignation from the Board but will continue to serve on a committee for special projects involving upcoming initiatives and we are fortunate to retain his creative talent and input in that fashion.  
 
Therefore there will be no need for a run off between Stephanie Sack and Gail Barlow as Gail  Barlow will move into Jonathan’s seat.  
 
Finally, I am deeply and sincerely appreciative of the work and contributions that Barbara Poliwoda brought to our Board and our Village.  Her creative thought leadership and willingness to help in any fashion was an invaluable and greatly needed asset and we are all fortunate to have benefited from her service to date.  It is my hope she will continue to be engaged with a committee within BID and continue to aid our effort in making Greenport an even better place to live, work and play.
