I am writing to formally endorse Nasiba Mannan for reelection to the Board of Health.

Over the last three years, Nasiba has been a diligent steward of our town’s well-being. She has worked tirelessly to maintain high health standards across our businesses, schools and public events, ensuring our community remains a safe place to live and work. Notably, she has modernized the department by transitioning to electronic records and significantly expanding our local vaccination efforts — critical steps in bringing our town’s infrastructure into the future.

As an eye care provider, I understand firsthand the vital importance of proactive community health. Nasiba’s commitment to disease prevention and her focus on providing transparent, up-to-date educational resources align with the needs of our residents. Beyond her technical expertise, she possesses a rare ability to communicate complex health information in an open, friendly, and accessible manner.

Nasiba Mannan is a proven asset to our town. I strongly urge my neighbors to join me in supporting her reelection to the Board of Health.

— Asha Sherring, Hopkinton
