I’m writing in support of Sarah Neumann for the Board of Selectman. I have known Sarah since we worked together as co-chairs of the Hindley Elementary School PTO. In my time working with her she displayed an unparalleled work ethic, positive attitude and dedication to helping our community. Sarah is a team player who has worked tirelessly in a variety of leadership roles. Sarah has also volunteered as president of the Junior League, PTO co-chair at Darien High School and in her current role on the Representative Town Meeting.

To the editor,

I am writing this letter to express my support for Sarah Neumann as a candidate for the Board of Selectmen. Sarah and I are neighbors, and met years ago when our children were at Hindley Elementary School. She was the co-chair of the Hindley PTO when I chaired the Hindley Green Committee. She was always supportive, enthusiastic and open to new ideas. In her roles as chair of both the Hindley and Darien High School PTOs, I watched her capably manage the responsibilities of the role, while making sure everyone felt included and supported.
