REMARKS BY THE ALDERMEN
Alderman Laws
| just wanted to welcome Ms. Parkinson to the team.
Mayor Donchess
Yes, why don’t we take this opportunity which | probably should have done before to ask Ms. Parkinson to
introduce herself and to tell us a little bit about herself and how it was that she came to work for the City of
Nashua.
Ms. Parkinson
Hi everybody, it’s very nice to meet you all and | am very excited to be working for the City of Nashua. | have a
little bit of a varied background in purchasing, but | have 30 years, | hate to say that, of Purchasing Experience.
The most recent of which was for Margarita’s, the restaurant group who overnight with COVID-19 closed the
doors. They are starting to reopen but things look a little different there. That was what really kind of what
precipitated my move into looking for other employment. | think it’s a good way to put it. Ironically the City of
Nashua job popped up within a week or two of the posting, | saw it within a week or two of me being
unemployed and here | am a little bit later.
The bulk of my career | actually spent in long-term care, doing purchasing for senior care, two different senior
care companies. | did 16 years with them so | am fairly well-versed with regulations and that world and how
Government impacts Corporate business anyway. | live in Exeter currently but do have plans on relocating to
the Nashua area. | think that’s important to know.
Mayor Donchess
Alright, thank you very much. Alderwoman Kelly?
Alderwoman Kelly
Yeah | was going to say welcome as well, | look forward to working with you Ms. Parkinson. And then | didn’t
put up my hand quick enough but | just wanted to say thank you to Director Marchant for moving forward the
Master Plan for the City and | look forward to seeing that conversation in our City.
