What a difference a year makes! Last year this time the community was abuzz with the Board of Education campaigners. This year there is a quiet hush all over the town.
This quietness can be a good thing-- meaning the community is pleased with the progress the Board is making. OR, it could be a bad thing -- meaning people have checked out of the process. I pray it is not the latter!
Well, over the next week I will introduce you to 3 of the 4 candidates. The 4th is a 12 year incumbent so he’ll need no introduction here. The purpose of this blogging foray is to provide the community with a brief introduction of the new individuals campaigning for this very important responsibility.
So....let's get started!
Mr. Alex Edache
Mr. Edache is concerned about the educational opportunities available to the children of Plainfield. He would like to utilize his professional and personal training and experiences to help support the Board’s current objectives to improve the educational system in our city while continuing the forward momentum that has been gained over the past year.
He has been a proud resident of Plainfield since 1998.
Mr. Edache has a Bachelor Degree in Land Surveying from Nigeria, and a Diploma in Nursing from the US.
He currently works in a major medical health care facility, and is a realtor for the Plainfield area.
He taught high school physics and mathematics.
Alex served as a deacon in his local church in Nigeria. He currently attends Cathedral International here in Plainfield and serves as a youth leader. He also has served in one of Plainfield’s soup kitchen weekly since 2000.
Plainfield Community -- please welcome Mr. Alex Edache, a 2011 Board of Education Candidate.
