MVT: The Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District (MVT CID) announces the resignation of current President, Claire Schaefer Oleksiak

BADWOLFDC:  A number of media outlets have published this information, I just wanted to get my "two-penneth" worth in.....
I have know Claire for a while, always as Pres. of MVTCID. I have had the pleasure of sitting and talking about Mount Vernon Triangle with Claire, and I think, have an idea of her objectives for the neighborhood. This is a big (& sad) loss for the neighborhood and although I am really happy that Claire has found something that I know she will succeed at, in her home town (that must be a wonderful feeling) I believe that the loss to Mount Vernon will take time to get over. The MVT has grown substantially under Claire's watch - it may never reach the heights of development again - and the care and discipline needed to balance growth with neighborhood that Claire projected will be hard to replace. Let's hope we get lucky (again)

I will miss you Claire - thank you

Here is the complete Press Release:
The Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District (MVT CID) announces the resignation of current President, Claire Schaefer Oleksiak, as she takes on a new position with the parks department in her home town of Madison, Wisconsin.

From her work to support and enhance our Clean and Safe teams to all of the exciting neighborhood events and the establishment of our seasonal FRESHFARM Market, Claire expressed a passion for the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood and its residents, businesses and visitors.
