Quast Has Displayed Leadership in Yorktown Town Clerk’s Office
Opinion Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the author/producer’s interpretation of facts and data.
Diana Quast has been our town clerk for eight years; there is no one who is more qualified than she is to continue the job.
Diana serves this town faithfully every day helping as many residents as she can. She has transformed the look and feel of the town clerk’s office, making it more modern and welcoming, which you immediately feel when you walk up to the window. She expanded the accessibility to the office by creating the first-ever Mobile Town Clerk’s office, which has helped residents who can’t drive to Town Hall.
The town clerk’s office runs smoothly and efficiently with the effort that Diana and her team have put into rolling out new online fillable forms and accepting credit cards for easy transactions. Diana embodies the spirit of “Progress through Preservation,” the town motto, as she has installed modern office amenities while also digitizing town archives. Diana works closely with the Yorktown Museum, and she secured a local records book from over 100 years ago for the town’s archives that she also oversees.
The two-term incumbent can be seen throughout the town and at various functions to support the town’s causes, which are too many to list. Diana also spearheaded the annual Electric Lights Parade that draws thousands of spectators each year.
In addition to the experience Diana gained working under the tutelage of her predecessor, Alice Roker, Diana has shown eight years of unwavering leadership. To say that she knows the office backwards and forward would be a cliché and an understatement. Not only does she have the multiple certifications necessary to hold the office, but she is also knowledgeable of the laws that govern and protect the town. Diana is someone I speak to almost every day, and I can tell you firsthand that each day at work she helps the residents of this town in ways that are above and beyond.
Diana is caring, successful and an inspiration to many. I write this letter in support of re-electing Yorktown Town Clerk Diana Quast. While Diana may be my mom, and I may be a little biased, it’s evident that she deserves to continue her career as town clerk.
