Roy Schaeffer

I moved to The Village of Friendship Heights from NY in 2019. My wife Marlena and I fell in love with the location, the walkability, and access to parks.
I am running for the Council because I care about our unique community. I want to be involved in the projects and decisions that improve our Village.
My qualifications include:
-
President of Homeowners Association in Westchester NY – 262 homes on 130 acres. As President I initiated and directed many capital projects including road repairs, completely renovating our outdoor playground with an emphasis on safety and redesigning our indoor gym. I also supervised five committees and the activities of two full time staff working on-site.
-
Licensed as a Certified Public Accountant.
-
Licensed as a Real Estate broker in New York State.
-
In my current job, I am an Underwriter approving loan guarantees for multifamily residential buildings.
The work of the Council should be transparent, collaborative, and represent our entire community. I look forward to working with the other Council members to make a positive impact.
