Meet John Edelen -
My name is John Edelen and I am running for the Cornwall Board
of Education.
My wife and I chose Cornwall 17 years ago because of the
community, its quality schools, and the surrounding scenic splendor. Our daughter
is a student at the Middle School and attended Willow Avenue Elementary K-4. We
consider ourselves
fortunate for the dedicated and talented teachers, administrators and staff
that have helped shape her education to this point and I want to ensure
responsible progress for the future.
I believe I possess a unique blend of competencies, experience
and perspective to contribute as an effective board member and uphold its
responsibility to provide a quality education for all in a fiscally responsible
manner.
As a husband, I understand trust is the foundation of all
functional relationships and is earned through clear and honest communication.
As a father, I understand the importance of setting a proper
example for younger generations.
As a veteran, I understand sacrifice as well as commitment and
the importance effective planning, unity of purpose and timely execution play
in accomplishing the mission.
As a cadet at West Point, I learned that success is a by-product
of teamwork and that none of us is good as all of us.
As a graduate student at Columbia Business School, I learned the
importance of sound finances and the necessity to think up, out and forward to
stay ahead in today’s competitive marketplace.
As a retired chief risk officer, I understand the power robust governance,
exacting processes and critical thinking supported by analytics can play
towards discovering effective and efficient solutions.
As a resident, I recognize the importance the school district
plays in contributing to Cornwall’s past, present and future.
I respectfully ask for your vote on May 15th.
Sincerely,
John Edelen
Cornwall, NY
