Mayor Tim Sullivan swore in Lori Lang and Megan O’Rourke-Schutta to the Malverne Board of Trustees at the village’s annual organizational meeting.
“When I ran for Mayor two years ago, we made a commitment to make sure that women were well represented in this community, on this board,” said Sullivan at the April 7 meeting. “We made a commitment to have this community better represented by hardworking, accomplished women. And Megan and Lori are certainly those kinds of women that we want representing you in our village.”
“I look forward to continuing to work with the board,” said Lang, who was first appointed trustee by former Mayor Keith Corbett in Feb. 2023. “We really are a great board. We have different backgrounds, but we really are very complimentary of one another and we actually do all get along. So thank you all and I look forward to serving you for the next four years.”
O’Rourke-Schutta thanked the volunteers who helped her campaign for a seat on the village board. “Thank you to all the residents who voted for me,” she said. “I’m very excited to be here. I don’t take this position lightly. It’s been a few months of work and I’m happy to finally be here in front of you.”
Following the swearing in of the trustees, Sullivan and the board approved the appointments of various positions and offices throughout the local Malverne government that keep the village running.
