Professional and Business Experience, Sets Mirchandani Apart
Opinion Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the author/producer’s interpretation of facts and data.
Since moving to Yorktown nearly 20 years ago, Jann Mirchandani has become a well-known and passionate advocate for small businesses and nonprofits in the community.
Jann has 10 years of experience in the financial sector and 25 years’ experience as a small business owner. She has mentored numerous small business owners formally through the Ossining Innovates business incubator program and informally through her extensive professional network.
She is an active member of the Business Council of Westchester and the Association of Development officers. It is in this capacity that she works to connect business owners and nonprofit leaders with the resources they need to thrive.
She currently serves on the Executive Board of the Greater Hudson Valley Council Boy Scouts of America as the council commissioner, the first female to hold this position. She previously served on the Council Merger Task Force, responsible for completing a feasibility study and ultimately working to oversee the merger between the Westchester-Putnam Council and the Hudson Valley Council.
Jann’s experience as a small business owner and years of service on nonprofit boards provide her with the leadership skills Yorktown needs to live up to its motto, Progress with Preservation.
Jann will work to develop a strategy to upgrade our aging water mains and sewer systems and allocate monies from the fund balance to advance this initiative; reevaluate tax exemptions to businesses to ensure the tax burden for commercial development is not borne by residential taxpayers; acknowledge climate change and our responsibility to reduce fossil fuel consumption by developing plans to decrease our consumption; foster entrepreneurship with resources to help them thrive in Yorktown; fight to improve Yorktown government’s ethics; and eliminate wasteful government spending.
I believe that Jann Mirchandani will be an outstanding Yorktown Supervisor and strongly endorse her candidacy.
