Farrah Kule Rubin is the new Bronx Community Board 8 district manager. The news was shared with community members at a Bronx Community Board 8 meeting earlier this month.

 

Rubin starts her new role effective June 5, according to the board, and replaces Ciara Gannon, who was promoted to director of community boards at the Office of the Bronx Borough President by Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson in recent weeks.

 

According to Bronx Community Board 8, Rubin has extensive experience working in State and City government where she has previously served as director of constituent services and community outreach for former District 13 City Council Member Mark Gjonaj.

 

They said Rubin is leaving her position as project coordinator at the Simon Wiesenthal Center for the NYC Education Department of the Museum of Tolerance.

 

Reacting to Rublin’s appointement, Laura Spalter, chair of Bronx Community Board 8, said, “Farrah Kule Rubin is a local resident whose broad supervisory experience and years of service working within City and State government will be a tremendous asset to our constituents.”
