Bossart Elected as NCVOA President

Rockville Centre Mayor Mary Bossart has a new leadership role in the Nassau County Village Officials Association.

Bossart, who served as its vice president, was elected on April 12 as the new NCVOA president, and will lead an organization that represents 64 incorporated villages with more than 430,000 residents. “I am honored to be selected by my peers for this important role,” Bossart said.“Village government is the government closest to the people —  the most efficient and effective vehicle for delivering services to residents."

As president, Mayor Bossart will be responsible for establishing NCVOA policies and directing the organization’s efforts on behalf of village residents throughout Nassau County.  

"The NCVOA has played an integral role in advocating for village residents and helping them maintain local control over their communities," Bossart said. "I look forward to working with all village officials in ensuring we continue to be a strong voice for our residents in Nassau County and the State of New York.” 

Marvin Natiss, outgoing NCVOA president and Mayor of North Hills, said the organization is in good hands with Bossart leading it.

"Mary Bossart is an experienced, talented and highly respected village mayor," Natiss said. "I have had the opportunity to work with Mayor Bossart for several years and have been impressed with her depth of knowledge of the issues facing villages in Nassau County and across New York State. I'm confident she will be an highly effective president for our organization and strong advocate for our village residents."

According to its Web Site, the NCVOA was created in 1925  "as an organization for encouraging and stimulating cooperation among the member villages for their mutual benefit and welfare."
