Letter to the editor: Tom Ulfelder’s “collaborative leadership style enhances communication”

February 13, 2026 by admin

To the editor:

​I had the pleasure of working closely with Tom Ulfelder when I served on School Committee and have since had occasion to work with him on other town initiatives. His collaborative leadership style enhances communication among our often-diffuse town government. He understands with depth and nuance the many issues facing our community. I was particularly struck by the warmth and energy with which Tom seeks out input from those who are often left out of decision-making. Tom is eager to engage all stakeholders, to thoughtfully listen with compassion and curiosity, and to learn from the perspectives of others. He can make the hard choices and do so in an inclusive way that helps everyone understand his decision. Tom has my full support for re- election to the Select Board. In challenging times, his steady, honest leadership will serve us well.

Sincerely,

Leda Eizenberg
