Paulin Wins Vision of Community Award

The Scarsdale Teen Center (STC) is pleased to announce that New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin is the recipient of its tenth annual Visions of Community Award which will be presented at a community brunch on Sunday, December 5, 2010.

In addition to her current position representing the 88th NY State Assembly District, Paulin has a long history of civic service. In the past among, she has served as Executive Director of My Sister’s Place; Vice President of the NY State League of Women Voters; President of the Westchester League of Women Voters; Founder and Chairwoman of the Westchester Women’s Agenda; Trustee of the Scarsdale Village Board; and Citizen Member of the Westchester County Board of Legislators Special committee. Paulin lives in Scarsdale with her husband, Ira Schuman and their three children.

When asked about her latest honor, Paulin replied: “Receiving the Visions of Community Award is very special to me. As a resident of Scarsdale, a mother of three children and Scarsdale’s representative in the NY State Assembly, I am very proud to have been a part of this success story. The Scarsdale Teen Center is an excellent example of how this community pulled together resources and people to create a place for our teens to socialize in a safe, alcohol and drug free environment.”

President Margarita Meyer issued the following statement on behalf of the STC Adult and Teen Boards: “We are thrilled that Assemblywoman Paulin has agreed to be the recipient of our tenth annual Visions of Community Award. Paulin epitomizes lifelong commitment to community service especially with regard to our youth and their families. She has been an enthusiastic supporter of our mission and we look forward to honoring her vision of community.”
