Proven Leadership. Local Results.

A Decade of Advocacy for the Littleton Community

Note: The Littleton Business Association (LBA) is overseen by a Board of 6–7 members. I worked collaboratively with this Board to advance the goals outlined below, and these accomplishments represent collective decision‑making, teamwork, and shared responsibility.

For over ten years, I had the honor of serving as President of the Littleton Business Association (LBA). My goal has always been simple: to move Littleton forward by building strong, productive relationships between our community and town leadership.

I believe leadership isn’t just about having ideas—it’s about the “receipts” of what you’ve actually delivered. Whether it was supporting a $45M infrastructure project or trying to secure emergency grants for local shops during the pandemic, my focus has remained on making a positive impact on the community we live in. I am running for Park & Recreation Commissioner to bring this same results-oriented approach to our town’s fields, facilities, and family programs. Below are a few of the projects I am most proud of from my time serving Littleton.

Featured Accomplishments

The Littleton Common Sewer System

• The Goal: Modernize Littleton’s infrastructure to support economic growth and protect our water resources.
• The Result: Acted as a central bridge between 100+ property owners and town boards to ensure this $45 million investment moved from a concept to a fully operational system.

Revitalizing the Common: Form-Based Code

• The Goal: Create a walkable, vibrant town center through foundational zoning changes.
• The Result: Organized and hosted community input sessions with the Planning Board and consultants, ensuring that those most affected by the changes had a direct seat at the table.

Economic Recovery & Grant Advocacy

• The Goal: Ensure Littleton received its fair share of state and federal relief funding.
• The Result: Mobilized over 80 local businesses to participate in the Massachusetts Economic Development Grant survey. This was a team effort to try to secure recovery funding to keep our local economy moving during a critical time.

Survey participants included numerous retail businesses that suffered economic damage from the pandemic:

• Major Employers & Finance: Northern Bank, Main Street Bank, Citizens Bank, and Workers’ Credit Union.
• Retail & Dining: The Paper Store, Starbucks, Tavern in the Square, and il Forno.
• Local Services: Wayside Kitchens, Cataldo Nurseries, and Littleton Storage Solutions.
• Recreation & Arts: MetroRock Littleton, O’Neil Cinemas, and Eloquence Dance Centre.

PPP Loans for Qualifying Companies

• Financial Lifelines: Delivered timely, actionable guidance on PPP loans and state grants during the height of the pandemic, providing a direct resource for employers when they needed it most.

Community & Public Health Partnership

• Crisis Coordination: Partnered directly with the Littleton Fire Department and Board of Health to support local businesses through storm damage incidents and the complexities of COVID-19 safety protocols.
• Friendsgiving Food Drive & Fundraiser: A true highlight of my ten years as LBA President. This event was a powerful example of what happens when we work together. Proposed by Linda Colby of Workers Credit Union and brought to life through a fantastic collaboration between the Littleton, Groton, and Pepperell Business Associations, it was a night centered on giving back to our neighbors.
  • Giving: We collected over 482 lbs. of food for Loaves & Fishes and PACH Outreach.
  • Support: We raised nearly $1,000 for local families in need.
  • Partnership: We received incredible support from the Rotary Club of Littleton and the Courtyard By Marriott, proving that our business community is at its best when it serves the town.

Why This Matters for Park & Rec

As LBA President, I worked closely with town boards, local businesses, and residents to help move projects forward, share information, and support community initiatives. I believe Park & Recreation can benefit from that same approach: clear communication, coordination, and steady progress
