Message from the DM Susan Seinfeld
When I became the District Manager for Community Board 11
five years ago I found a plaque in the office "In Defense of District Managers".
It lists the various "chores" "…resident philosopher, form writer, form signer,
master politician, consultant, budget director, teacher, planner, nag, goals
setter, liaison, building super, personnel director, research staff, …and all
around expert." In a nutshell that is the job of the district manager. In the office with me are two other full time staff members and one part
timer. Besides helping residents with questions about the various city services, I coordinate the
Board's public meetings, hold monthly meetings with City agency
representatives and attend various meetings on behalf of the
Board. The staff and I have also organized flu vaccine
clinics with St. Mary's Hospital for Children, collected for Toys for Tots with the U.S.
Marine Corps Reserves and sponsored VIN etching events with the 111th Police Precinct.
It is a
pleasure to work for the members of Community Board
11 and for the community residents. Working with the various
City agency representatives, who serve Community Board 11, I endeavor to help ensure that our
parks are beautiful, our streets are clean, our neighborhoods safe and environment healthy.
I welcome residents and business owners to call
the board office for assistance with city services and to answer any questions.
