To the editor:

​As current and former Pelham civic leaders representing different political parties, we know what it takes to serve our community. On May 17, we will be voting for three candidates to serve as trustee for our board of education. We all support Theresa Mohan as one of those candidates. We have had an opportunity to know and work with Theresa. Over her 20-plus years in Pelham, Theresa has stepped into roles in the community and demonstrated balance, collaboration and thoughtful leadership. She has served in leadership roles in our schools, our recreation programs and professionally as the lead lawyer for several companies and the head of human resources for those companies as well.

Theresa brings people together, and she has done that not only in her experience in Pelham but also her professional life. Her skills will serve our community and reflect the community spirit that we all value in Pelham.

Please join us in supporting Theresa Mohan for the board of education.
