Bloomfield Township Trustee Resigns
Sherry Stefanes, a member of the Bloomfield Township Board
of Trustees since 1995, announced her resignation from the
Board, effective January 1, 2008, at the Board’s regular
meeting on Monday, November 26, 2007. She is taking a staff
position with Jewish Vocational Services (JVS) and will work
at Bloomfield Township’s Adult Day Services (ADS) center on
Franklin Road as a Program Assistant, giving direct care to
the adults enrolled in the program.
"Although I’m sorry to leave the Board," Ms. Stefanes said,
"I am looking forward to contributing to the care and
nurturing of our seniors in this very important program. I
enjoyed my role at ADS as a volunteer, but this position
allows me to become more involved in the day services we offer
our residents coping with Alzheimer’s and other dementia as
well as support for their caregivers. I’m especially excited
about the ADS program being moved into the new senior center
when that building is completed."
Ms. Stefanes was the first female Trustee to serve on the
Bloomfield Township Board. She was appointed to the position
in 1995, elected in 1996 and re-elected in 2000 and 2004.
Prior to serving as a Trustee, she served for two years on the
Township Zoning Board of Appeals. In November 2002, Ms.
Stefanes was appointed to the Township Planning Commission and
has served on this board concurrently with her service on the
Board of Trustees.
Ms. Stefanes has a long and varied history of community
involvement. She is the immediate past-president of the
Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition. She was president
of the Bloomfield Village Board of Trustees and has held
leadership positions in the Women Officials' Network, several
Birmingham Public Schools’ parents groups and the Junior
League of Birmingham. She was the District Liaison for Shelley
Goodman Taub, former State Representative, 40th District. Ms.
Stefanes and her husband George are the parents of three adult
children.
Dave Payne, Bloomfield Township Supervisor, said, "We will
miss Sherry’s insight and dedication. She has been an
extremely committed Trustee, always prepared and well informed
about the issues in front of us at each meeting. Her knowledge
of the community and her involvement in so many aspects of
community life have uniquely qualified her to contribute to
Bloomfield Township."
The Board of Trustees will accept and review applications
from Township residents and appoint a person to fill the
vacant position. The term ends in November 2008.
