Boxford Library Trustee Candidate: Eileen Guerin
My name is Eileen Guerin, and I ask for your vote at the Boxford polls on May 18, 2010.
During my early career, I worked in the Finance industry as a systems professional, spending fifteen years at Fidelity Investments in the mutual fund portfolio accounting, and later the defined contribution retirement investment areas. I retired from Fidelity in 1996 as a vice president for retirement fund accounting, upon the birth of the second of my two children.
My family and I have lived in Boxford since 2000, and I have been active in various groups in town, including BTA/BOLT, Cub Scouts, and as a Windrush Farm volunteer. I earned a Masters’ Degree in Education at Gordon College in mid-life, and am certified as a middle school mathematics teacher. I currently work as a part-time mathematics tutor.
I would like to serve the Town of Boxford as a member of the Board of Library Trustees for the following reasons:
- My family and I are highly satisfied clients of the Boxford Town Library, and have an interest in continuing the excellent service afforded to the town by the library staff
- As the mother of two teenagers enrolled in local schools, I have insights into the varied usage by adults and youth of library resources in all media, including book, periodical and various other electronic forms
- My recent experience as a graduate student, (Gordon College Masters program in Education, 2002-2008, degree granted- 2008) has afforded me valuable insights into the new realities of academic research, particularly in the provision of online journal and reference resources
- My more distant library experience includes several years of work as a student in the Circulation Department at Harvard’s premier Widener Library, which has left me with a lifelong love of books and libraries, and with a preference for excellence in library administration
- I have an interest in seeing necessary improvements made to the physical plant of the Boxford Town Library, including the possibility of a new library if that is the will of the townspeople
Thank you for your consideration.
Eileen Guerin
