The Pound Ridge Democratic Committee unanimously elected Roslyn Stone-Pollock as its new chairwoman. Ms. Stone-Pollock has been a resident of Pound Ridge since 1982, a district leader since 2007 and has been active in Democratic efforts for more than a decade.
Most Pound Ridge Democrats know Roslyn for her large and active pre-election phone banks. She has coordinated, hosted and fed phone bankers for the PRDC, John Hall for Congress, voter registration initiatives and the DNC through many campaigns.
The Pound Ridge Democratic Committee’s members include Ali Boak, Mark Slivka (Treasurer), Tara Packer (Secretary), Dr. John Maddocks and Elyse Arnow. John Maddocks has played a pivotal role in the LEED certification for the new community center.
Regarding Ms. Stone-Pollock, Ali Boak said “I believe Roslyn Stone-Pollock has the vision, energy, and skills to lead the Democrats of Pound Ridge in a way we’ve never been led before! Under Roslyn’s direction, we have successfully completed a thorough strategic planning process developing action plans to move the Democratic Committee in Pound Ridge forward as a force for positive change in the community.”
The Pound Ridge Democratic Committee has had a truly extraordinary year. From a dinner late last year for 40 registered Democrats who had never before attended any local political function to a gregarious Inaugural Celebration at Conant Hall, Pound Ridge Dems have been more active and involved than ever before.
The mission of the Pound Ridge Democratic Committee is to be the local organization formally tied to the National and State Democratic Committees responsible for promoting and organizing local campaign activities. The Committee’s mission includes raising awareness and participation of Pound Ridge voters in local democratic issues, events and campaigns.
Regarding her new position, Ms. Stone-Pollock said, “I am excited about the positive course of the Pound Ridge Democratic Committee and look forward to providing leadership in my new role. We have a dedicated and active committee with clear direction, committed district leaders and broad support. ”
Ms. Stone-Pollock hopes to hear from Pound Ridge Democrats who are interested in serving as District Leaders, serving as issue or subject advisors to the PRDC or running for local office.
