Rockland County Legislators congratulated Tiffany Mason after the Multi-Services Committee voted to approve her appointment to the Rockland County Community Services Board’s Developmental Disabilities Subcommittee.
Tiffany was born and raised in Rockland and is the administrative assistant at St. Charles AME Zion Church in Sparkill. She is well known in community circles for her kindness and professionalism, along with her advocacy for people with disabilities. Tiffany’s mother, Monica, and numerous supporters were present for the confirmation vote.
Legislators Toney L. Earl and Aney Paul thanked Tiffany for her willingness to volunteer. Legislator Dana G. Stilley has known Tiffany for some time and urged her to apply to join the committee.
“I’m so grateful that you recognized and stood up and answered the call to serve on this committee,” Legislator Stilley said. “You and I have shared a lot of your own personal journey and I’m confident that you will be an asset to the committee, and therefore an asset to this county, and we appreciate you for your service.”
The County Executive appointed Tiffany to the committee. The Legislature is responsible for confirming all such appointments. The full board is expected to vote in favor of the appointment when it meets on May 21.
The Developmental Disabilities Subcommittee advises the county Mental Health Department and the County Executive’s Office as part of the Department’s work to plan, develop and oversee services for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.
