#12 Dr. Althea Hicks
For the past 3 years, I have served on the Rochdale Village Board of Directors as the Chairperson, efficiently leading our monthly board meetings with professionalism, and respect.
I have a Doctorate in Education, a Master’s Degree in Public Health, a Bachelor’s degree in Health Education, and I’m a Registered Parliamentarian (RP). I am a Higher Education Administrator with over 20 years of experience managing education programs and funding for private, government, academic, and community-based organizations. I am currently a member of the Jamaica Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP), Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, and the National Association of Parliamentarians.
As a member of the Board, I promise to continue providing respect to our cooperators and work with other members of the Board, along with other shareholders and management, to find satisfactory solutions to some of our problems. During my tenure as a Board Member, I have supported efforts to resolve some of our most pressing matters:
-
Voted FOR House Congress to be recognized as a tenant association
-
Voted FOR new laundromats with a NEW contractor
-
Voted FOR the board to review new management companies
-
Voted FOR hiring a new legal firm
-
Voted FOR a new accounting firm for our external audits
I’ve increased my knowledge and learned about shareholders, HCR, management, board business, House Congress, and our non-profit, (RVSS) Rochdale Village Social Services Inc.
If I am re-elected will continue to focus on bringing change to our community by seeking a new management company and working with our community to address our current financial situation. I will bring creative ideas and suggestions to improve our operations, infrastructure, quality of life, cooperative principles, and Rochdale Village Social Services Inc.
I ask that you vote for me and all the Jewel of Jamaica candidates.
