I am a candidate for Town Moderator in the May election. I offer experience and impartiality, and I hope to have your support.
My prior Town Government service in a variety of roles will inform my goal of setting the stage for civil and productive debate at Town Meeting. These prior positions include representing Precinct 5 as a Town Meeting Member; Vice Chair of the Advisory Committee; Chair of the Select Board, and most recently as an Associate Member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. In all of these roles, I have tried to foster a collaborative environment of working together in the Town’s best interest.
I am mindful of the strict legal framework required to ensure that Town Meeting’s decisions are valid and legally defensible, as well as the need to remain neutral on all issues that come before Town Meeting.
As Moderator I will:
* Endeavor to be fair, respectful, welcoming and supportive of all who participate in Town Meeting
* Make sure all viewpoints have had an equal opportunity to be heard
* Clearly communicate the parameters of debates and votes while keeping things moving
* Work to improve the quality, timeliness, and flow of information about Town Meeting
* Develop a more transparent Advisory Committee Member appointment process.
More about Neil
I have lived with my wife Susan at 20 Henry St. in the Point neighborhood for over 40 years. Our two children graduated from Lincoln School and BHS. Professionally, I have had a long career regulating private sector pensions and other employee benefit plans for a federal agency. My latest role involved guiding the agency’s use of internal and external data sources. You will often see me at the Brookline Reservoir and Olmsted Park - a favorite activity is exploring Brookline and other nearby communities. I am an avid (fair weather) bicycle rider and spearheaded expanding Bluebikes in Brookline while serving on the Select Board.
