Ridgefield resident Jill Bornstein, whose husband Jeff is currently a Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for General Electric, has announced her resignation from Ridgefield's Board of Finance (BOF), effective immediately. Bornstein served on the BOF for six years.
"It was such an honor to serve the wonderful town of Ridgefield," said Bornstein.
GE announced earlier this month that the company will move their headquarters to Boston.
"Due to my family relocating to Boston in the near future I feel it is best that I resign from my seat as soon as possible so that a new member can come up to speed as quickly as possible and be able to contribute in a meaningful way to the 16-17 budget cycle deliberations," Bornstein wrote in her resignation letter to Ridgefield Town Clerk.
"I thank the Ridgefield voters for the opportunity to serve on the Board of Finance," said Bornstein.
On behalf of all of us and HamletHub, thank you Jill for not only tirelessly serving our town on the Board of Finance, but helping so many local nonprofits. You will be missed.
