I write in support of Tim Quinn for Princeton Council.
I first met Tim when I served as chair of the Friends of the Princeton Public Library. In addition to his considerable skills as a communicator, it became obvious that he is a natural leader, as well. We collaborated on many fund-raising projects for the Friends. His suggestions and solutions to questions ere always thoughtful and in the best interests of everyone involved.
Tim’s leadership was apparent when he led the huge and difficult effort which kept the library open after Superstorm Sandy. With the library director out of state, Tim spearheaded the work that kept our library open and running. For days after the storm he was there around the clock, making sure we had a warm, safe place to shelter and stay connected to the outside world. Beyond almost everything else, it was comforting to be there.
Tim won a national award for that effort. It came as no surprise to me. I’d seen those leadership skills for years. He will make a splendid member of council.
