AI Summary

This resolution commends Andrea Scarborough, a native of Trinidad and Tobago who moved to New York as a teenager, for her significant contributions to community service, education, and advocacy. Highlighting her distinguished 20-year career at AT&T Communications and her co-founding of Jasmine's Catering Service, the resolution also recognizes her extensive civic engagement, including leadership roles in the United Coalition of Veterans & Community Rights, the Southern Queens Residents Environmental Justice Council, and as former President of the Addisleigh Park Civic Organization. Her environmental advocacy is particularly noted, including her work that led to the passage of the NYC Waste Equity Law, which reduced waste inflow into Jamaica/Queens by 33%, and secured a $1 million EPA grant to study air pollution and health impacts in Southeast Queens. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges her ongoing community service at St. Albans Congregational Church and her continued advocacy through various advisory boards and civic coalitions. The resolution formally commends Scarborough on the occasion of her special recognition by the National Council of Negro Women-Queens County Section, to be celebrated at their 37th Annual Black and White Celebration of Honorees on June 8, 2025, and includes a provision to transmit a copy of the resolution to her.
