Dear fellow Hanoverians:
First, please know that the Special Town Meeting on Monday starts at 7:00
p.m. and the Annual Town Meeting starts at 7:30 p.m., not 8:00 p.m. as
mentioned in a previous e-mail. Apologies for any confusion.
Further, below please find Jeanne Cianciola’s candidate Information Sheet
exactly as submitted to ATOTW. Jeanne is running unopposed as a candidate
for the one year position on the Library Board of Trustees.
Candidate Information Sheet
Name Jeanne Cianciola
Office Seeking Trustee of the Public Library
Address 81 Old Town Way
Contact Information 781-878-7090; jcianciola@comcast.net
Lengthy of Residency 24-1/2 years
Please list relevant experience (education, vocation, etc., you feel will
be useful in the office you are seeking.
I have lived in Hanover for over 24 years with my husband Mike and our 3
children. During most of that time, I’ve been very involved with the
town, both as an employee and as a volunteer for a variety of
organizations. From 1993-2005, I worked as secretary to the Hanover Zoning
Board of Appeals. I left this position for family reasons, returning to the
work force in 2010 to work for the Norwell Planning Board. I recently
retired so am available to devote the time needed to serve as Trustee.
My most recent volunteer experience has been with the Friends of the John
Curtis Library. I joined this wonderful group about 7-8 years ago. I helped
with book sales as well as organizing the book sale room prior to beginning
my job in Norwell. Since then, my support has mainly been financial. Other
volunteer positions I’ve held include: 10 years with the HPTA in a
variety of positions at Cedar School, Hanover High School and town-wide; 5
years coordinating the Destination Imagination program in Hanover,
including hosting and the logistical planning for the regional tournament;
4 years with the Hanover Foundation of Educational Enrichment; and 2 years
as Committee Chairperson for Cub Scout Pack 37. I was also a member of the
Hanover Newcomers Club for 8-10 years, one of which I served as President.
Prior to having my children, I worked as a Human Resources professional for
8 years. For 5 years, I was the Assistant Director of Human Resources for
the CPA firm, Laventhol & Horwath. Prior to that position, I was an
Employment Representative at Cullinet Software.
What are the major issues confronting the town which involve your office?
Please express your opinion on these issues and how you proposed to deal
with them.
The major issue for the John Curtis Library is finding a replacement for
our library director, Lorraine Welch. I’m hopeful that the Trustees will
be given the opportunity to be involved in the hiring process. I believe my
years in recruiting and employee relations will be an asset to this search.
Why are you running for this office?
Now that I’m retired and have more flexibility with my time, I would like
to get involved in public service in Hanover. I can think of no better
place to do so than the John Curtis Library. I’m looking forward to
working with the library staff, its volunteers and the community. Thank you
for your support.
