Dear Bronxville Village Residents,

We are a group of more than 200 Village residents who are asking you to vote on Tuesday, May 18th for Non-Partisan Committee-endorsed candidate, Miki Kapoor, for School Board Trustee. We know Miki well, some professionally, some personally, some through his work at the Bronxville School, and some through the Non-Partisan Committee (NPC) process.  

Miki and his wife have lived in Bronxville for eight years and he is an active and involved father to his three children. Miki is intelligent, level-headed, community-minded, strategic, fiscally-responsible, and exceedingly competent. As a deeply engaged member of our community, we know how much he cares about maintaining what makes Bronxville so special.

Miki has the proven track-record of professional accomplishments necessary for this position. After almost ten successful years on Wall Street, Miki founded and/or served as President or CEO of three healthcare companies. Prior to that, he was the Executive Vice President for health systems operations at the Clinton Foundation.

In addition, Miki has the necessary leadership experience for this position. He has served on multiple professional and volunteer boards and committees, and is a current member of both a Bronxville School curriculum committee and the Bronxville Police Community Relations Committee.

Lastly, Miki has the academic credentials necessary for this position. He received his MBA in Finance and MPH in Health Policy from Yale. He is a Fulbright Fellow and was a visiting professor at two universities.

There are only seven school board seats and it is important that we have highly qualified, trusted, and dedicated trustees in each position. The NPC has contributed to shaping 85 years of strong Boards in Bronxville, a Board whose governance has and must continue to attract talented administrators and teachers. The 21 Bronxville NPC members are elected representatives who conduct a rigorous process to find, vet, interview and endorse candidates for the school board. The NPC strives to find people like Miki Kapoor and Susan Conniff who are accomplished professionally, as well as have a demonstrated commitment to the community's smooth functioning. You can find more about the NPC at: www.bronxvillenpc.com.

It is our hope, in electing School Board members, that we consider a candidate who not only has the academic and professional experiences needed, but one who has volunteered his time and has continuously shown passion and commitment to our community for years. You will find this dedication in Miki; a proven leader who will make responsible decisions for our school, our children and our community for years to come. Miki Kapoor has earned the endorsement of the NPC and has the credentials, competence and character necessary for School Board Trustee. As such, we endorse him without reservation and urge you to come out and vote for him on May 18th at the school.

Sincerely,

Andrea Abbott
