#8 Jacqueline Telfer

When I lived in Trinidad & Tobago, I graduated from the prestigious Holy Name Convent. In 2002, I migrated to the United States to live in Rochdale Village Inc. and I’ve lived in this beautiful community for the last twenty-two years.   I’ve raised four children who attended our local public schools, PS 30 and MS 72 before attending universities and working.   

 

As a top corporate travel agent, I worked in the Caribbean, and I had the opportunity to work with clients like cricket legend Brian Lara.  When I came to the United States, I worked with the same company and gained over two decades of experience in the Administrative and Accounting field with both jobs combined. 

 

As a member of the board, I would like to improve the shareholder’s day to day lives. My concerns include advocating for the youth and their safety, continuing activities and programs for our senior citizens, timely maintenance upkeep, and improving the quality of life in our cooperative.  If I’m elected as a board member, I will listen to shareholders and always advocate.  I will always ensure that Rochdale Village remains affordable while demonstrating responsibility, integrity, and professionalism.    With my resources, I will help improve our community and I will also ensure our success.  Rochdale is more than just a home to me. Rochdale is a place of community, concern, and care for the greater good of all.  Although I travel for work, I currently participate in Rochdale’s committees, and I keep updated on community information, news, and social media. 

 

I hope that you will elect me to guide you in this future endeavor. 

 

Respectfully submitted,

Jacqueline Telfer
