I was pleased to hear that Elise Woodward has decided to run for a second term as Selectman, and would like to offer my support for her candidacy. I have known Elise for almost twenty years, served on committees under her leadership, and find her to be a person with excellent values and sound judgment. Her calm demeanor and ability to listen to and consider everyone’s perspective make her a natural leader.
As a resident of Concord since 1981, Elise has an exceptional understanding of our town, its governance issues, and an extensive record of service, including: one term on the Board of Selectman (one year as Chair); two terms on the Finance Committee; two terms on the Zoning Board of Appeals (four years as Chair); many years on school building committees; PTG president at both Willard and the Middle Schools; and as a parent on the advisory committees of both the Middle and High Schools.
I believe this experience, in combination with Elise’s natural abilities, uniquely qualify her to contribute to our Board, and hope you will join me in supporting her for a second term as Selectman, and the continuity and leadership she will provide to our town government.

Elise Woodward is running for election to Concord’s Board of Selectmen and I hope you will join me in supporting her candidacy. As a long time resident of the town, Elise has been an active volunteer in our community serving on various boards and committees relating to school building projects, land use decision-making, and municipal finances. In her professional life, she is a principal and architect with a major Boston based architectural firm. These qualifications, of course, are impressive and will serve all of us well in a position on the Board. But, equally important is Elise’s demonstrated ability and temperament for listening, respecting divergent opinions, and a willingness to risk changing one’s mind as we learn more about the diverse and complex issues facing communities today.
Please join me at the polls on March 6th in supporting Elise Woodward for Concord’s Board of Selectmen.

Thank you Elise Woodward!
Kudos to Elise for taking on another term as Selectman. She has been a wonderful addition to the Board. Demonstrating always, a respect, dignity and wisdom that has set her apart as one of our most effective leaders and Board contributors.
In todays reality, with so many minefields to be navigated while voyaging through uncertain times. I ,for one, am glad to see her steady hand return for a second term.
Concord is indeed fortunate to have citizens such as Elise who are willing to step forward and give of their time and talent. We are blessed to have such courage and dedication in our midst.
When next you see Elise give her thanks for “a job well done”, and offer best wishes for another fruitful term as Selectman.
