Washington, DC – December 16, 2015 – The Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District (MVT CID) announces the resignation of current President, Claire Schaefer Oleksiak, as she takes on a new position with the parks department in her home town of Madison, Wisconsin.
Mount Vernon Triangle CID Board Chairman, Dr. Joseph Evans, noted the important contributions Oleksiak made over the past two and a half years, saying, “The Board of Directors and the Mount Vernon Triangle community are incredibly grateful for Claire’s transformational accomplishments during a very important time in the life of our neighborhood. From her work to support and enhance our Clean and Safe teams to all of the exciting neighborhood events and the establishment of our seasonal FRESHFARM Market, Claire expressed a passion for the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood and its residents, businesses and visitors.
