Citizens Nominating Committee:

The Scarsdale Procedure Committee is still looking for candidates to run for the Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC) from all areas of Scarsdale. Candidates from Heathcote, Greenacres and Edgewood are especially urged to come forward.

The CNC is the backbone of the Scarsdale Non-Partisan system. This year the CNC will select a Mayoral Candidate as well as three Trustee Candidates. Biographical forms can be found on the Procedure Committee website under forms. Petitions are no longer required for this election cycle.

Please email your completed BIO to howard.nadel@gmail.com. Nominations close on October 23rd. Please act quickly.

School Board Nominating Committee:

The School Board Nominating Committee is an elected group of 30 members who identify, propose and nominate qualified candidates to run for the Scarsdale Board of Education. The 30 voting members represent each of the five elementary school neighborhoods. Each year 10 new members are elected to serve a three-year term on the SBNC.

Please help to maintain our excellent Scarsdale schools and serve our community by volunteering to run for the SBNC. To become a candidate please submit a candidate petition by November 18. Forms and other information can be found at www.scarsdalesbnc.com.
