Message from the Chairman

Yidel Perlstein

A community is only as good as the sum of its parts. We have an incredibly diverse one here in our district with people from all walks of life. The community board is the place where we come together to discuss, debate and make recommendations to the greater NYC government on matters that impact our district. I have the privilege of being appointed by my fellow board members, who graciously volunteer their time, to lead this board as Chairman.

As chairman, I preside over the monthly board meetings. All meetings are open to the public and are a forum for residents to discuss their opinions and concerns. I am also in charge of forming committees and appointing their chairpersons. It is my job to set the agenda and the direction for the board. I have been involved in many community projects and organizations prior to my appointment as chair, and proudly continue in these endeavors. This community is my home and I am humbled by the opportunity to serve it.
