SCARSDALE CITIZENS' NON-PARTISAN PARTY

Tim Foley

Tim Foley has been a consummate and thoughtful volunteer in the Scarsdale community since his family moved here 13 years ago. He served as President of the Scarsdale Forum in 2019-2020, during which year the Forum’s membership numbers increased, a new Climate Resilience Committee was formed, and the Forum committees produced a number of important reports on the county budget, the Village budget, and municipal services and traffic. More recently, Tim is currently the Secretary for the Scarsdale Bowl Committee, First Vice President of the Scarsdale Democratic Town Committee, and Chair of the County Fiscal Affairs Committee for the Scarsdale Forum. He spent four years on the Planning Board, and in the past was on the Advisory Council on Human Relations, the Procedure Committee, as a non-voting member on the Citizens Nominating Committee and as a basketball coach for Fox Meadow Elementary School for the Scarsdale Rec Program. He is dad to a 10th grader at Scarsdale High School and a 5th grader at Fox Meadow, and a parishioner at the Church of Saint Pius X in Scarsdale.

​

Tim has a background in policy, local politics, and member-driven organizations. He was the Communications Director for NYS Assemblymember Amy Paulin, and worked for her on many of her special projects and initiatives focused on Westchester County, including: coordinating the work of 33 local governments and school districts in Westchester, Suffolk, and Nassau Counties to challenge the IRS regulations disallowing the use of charitable funds to offer relief for taxpayers straining with the cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction; and supporting local community efforts to push for reform in reaction to the problematic response by Con Edison to the March 2018 nor’easters.

Tim Foley is currently the CEO and Executive Vice President of The Building & Realty Institute (BRI), a real estate trade association in Westchester County and the Hudson Valley.
