Heart Of Gold

I am writing in support of Kimberly Allan’s candidacy for trustee in Southampton Village. I have had the pleasure to know Ms. Allan for several years. In that time, I have found her to be an outstanding individual, with a heart of gold and dedication to serving others.

We first met when Ms. Allan was appointed as a guardian for an unrelated loved one whom she considered to be an extended family member. As an underwriter, I vetted her ability to care for this person. We were each impressed with the other’s attention to detail and ability to communicate effectively, and a mentorship relationship naturally formed.

After discovering my interest in law, Ms. Allan encouraged me to apply to law school and has supported me at every step along this life-changing journey. I am now about to graduate with honors and have the added honor of being elected University Senator of my law class. She was right to encourage me, and I appreciate her continued support.

I trust Ms. Allan, and you can continue to trust her as trustee for Southampton Village.
