Kristine Hodlin announces candidacy for re-election to Milton Library Trustee

I am announcing my candidacy for re-election for Milton MA Library Trustee and would appreciate your support and vote on April 25.

My husband, Paul and I have lived in Milton since 1984, raising our three children – Nils, Kurt and Erika.  We now help to care part-time for our grandchildren who also reside here.  I have embraced Milton through active involvement in Town government for many years as a Town Meeting member, Warrant Committee member and Library Trustee.  I am also an active member of East Congregational Church serving as Finance Chair, Treasurer and Youth Leader.  When my children attended Milton Public Schools I volunteered as PTO Treasurer, Boosters Treasurer and Site Council member.

I have been a Trustee of the Library for 12 years in roles as Chair, Treasurer and member of several subcommittees.  Some of my accomplishments during my tenure include

•   leading our evaluation and move to a new investment management firm to oversee the Trustee funds
•   collaborating with the Town to hire a contractor to design and build the parking lot turnaround
•   creating a subcommittee to revamp the Director’s evaluation process
•   serving on a committee to update the Library’s long range plan
•   re-negotiating the Discovery Schoolhouse lease
•   proposing steps and a timeline for researching the strategic vision of the Kidder building

I am currently chairing our building and grounds subcommittee as we seek to expand our parking capabilities to service our patrons better.

I want to participate in the Library’s continued success working with the Director, Will Adamczyk and the other Board members.  I respectfully ask for one of your votes on April 25.
