I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Diana Quast for Yorktown Town Clerk.
Having served as town supervisor, judge and chair of the Conservation Board in Yorktown over the years, I have had the privilege of closely working with and observing Diana’s dedication and commitment to our community.
I have known Diana for over two decades, dating back to her time as the deputy clerk under then-town clerk Alice Roker. Diana has consistently demonstrated a non-partisan approach in her work, always striving for what is best for our town.
During my tenure as supervisor, I witnessed firsthand the critical role her office plays in the daily functioning of Yorktown. Only one of two town clerks in Westchester County to achieve the title of master municipal clerk from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, Diana’s qualifications are unparalleled, with eight years’ experience in the position and notable achievements that include digitizing official documents, creating a mobile clerk’s office, introducing online dog license renewal and implementing efficient document retrieval systems. Her commitment to transparency through increased accessibility to Town Board minutes, agendas and resolutions is commendable.
Furthermore, Diana’s vision for the future, such as transitioning to a paperless office and preserving historical records through advanced archiving methods, demonstrates her forward-thinking approach. Her active involvement in local associations, including Yorktown Rotary and various municipal clerks’ associations, exemplifies her dedication to community engagement and development.
Diana is a lifelong Yorktown resident. I can say without hesitation that Diana wants nothing more than to continue to make this town the best it can be for all its citizens, which includes her devoted husband, children and grandchildren.
Diana Quast is not just a candidate but a dedicated public servant with a proven track record of accomplishments and a clear vision for the future of our town. I believe she is the most qualified candidate for the position.
