Letter: Leadership skills, business ability set Shufelt apart

Posted

To the editor:

I had the pleasure of serving on the Finance Committee with Shana Shufelt for five years. She brought youth. She brought new ideas. She brought a business-like approach that facilitated an effort to look objectively at what the problems were and determine what it would take to deal effectively with them.

Her leadership skills and her background in finance and software management made her an effective chair of the Budget Advisory Group, where she worked with representatives from the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee. The town has now seen her at work as chair of the Finance Committee, including at Town Meeting where she has presented the committee’s annual financial report and where she served at one point as assistant town moderator.

In my opinion, the town is lucky to have the chance to elect her to the Board of Selectmen. I ask you to join me in voting for Shana on April 12.
