Patricia Richard
Treasurer
Patty has been a year-round resident of the island since 1993.
You've probably seen her down at "the mall". Patty did a stint as
Prudence Island postal worker when Marcy was on the disabled list.
She is an active member of the Homestead Plat Improvement Association
and can always be found in the kitchen at their annual Bean Supper.
She is treasurer of the Prudence Island Historical Society.
Background:
Patty's professional training is in publications, and she has
worked for many years as a layout artist for an industrial trade
publication based in Westerly, RI. Before that, she spent several
seasons doing field research on blue whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
with the Mingan Island Cetacean Study. She was systems manager of
a daily Rhode Island newspaper, The Westerly Sun, for 13 years.
She was educated at the University of Colorado, where she studied
applied math.
Her goals for the district
Patty will continue to concentrate her efforts on administrative
tasks such as grant writing, budget planning and record-keeping,
freeing the more technically proficient board members for strategic
planning of the community water system.
