Stephen Mooney,
President

Why I Serve:

The unwavering dedication of the Tri-Town Council to the well-being of young people in our community is inspirational. As a lawyer, I hope to contribute to the integrity of the organization. As a parent, I see the many challenges young people encounter and honor their resilience in facing them. As a board member, I will advocate for programs and policies that treat every young person with dignity, fostering an atmosphere of respect, understanding, and acceptance. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve on the board of the Tri-Town Council. It’s an honor to serve this organization and its mission for the future.

Brief Bio:

I grew up in Lynn, a city with high needs and limited resources for their youth. Growing up there gave me perspective that I’ve carried with me through an over 20 year career focused inhealthcare, and spanning roles from operations to marketing to communications, and more recently, consulting. When we moved to Topsfield in 2017, I immediately loved the sense of community and got involved as much as possible. I’ve volunteered in our elementary schools with programs like DASH and Girls Scouts and now that my daughter is in Middle School I’m finding new opportunities. In addition to volunteering, I also enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and our dog, cooking/baking, painting, and enjoying time outdoors.

As we navigate unprecedented new realities and social dynamics, I hope that by providing these empowering resources we will ensure that the youth we serve remain resilient and connected members of our community.

Herman Learmond-Criqui

Why I Serve:

From a very young age, I have always wanted to improve the lives of others - whether it was participating in a conversation, performing a task, listening, donating time or mentoring others as I saw this an integral part of improving our humanity.

To me, Success is not about how much we can take, but rather how much we can give. I strongly believe in our local Communities and I believe that the word – community - stands for “common unity” where we live to foster greatness for everyone who lives there centered around a core set of principles regardless of age, race, religion, political and social standings.

I see people as human beings who are here for a reason and we can help each other find our individual and collective purpose. I believe in collaboration more than outright competition (where the winner takes all) – because a winner who takes all – leaves nothing behind so there is really no trickle-down effect.

I believe that Success in a community is a team sport and by lifting others up together – we can achieve the impossible - a world where we don’t just survive but we all thrive. When we all thrive – we are closer to obtaining peace, harmony and joy.

In the same way “a rising tide lifts ALL boats” – a rising community should lift all members of that community and the older generations should look after the younger generations and provide guidance, set examples and deliver programs to help them navigate life, build a strong and confident foundation and let them know that the world is still beautiful and full of opportunities.

In serving on the Tri-Town Council, I hope to bring these core values, my fund-raising experience, my energy and my ingenuity to help the Tri-Town Council continue to serve the wonderful communities of Middleton, Boxford and Topsfield and to help the youth see the limitless possibilities in front of them if they just always remember to ”Dare to Dream” and to “Never Give Up”!

Herman also gives back to his community via the following organizations:
