Walsh appoints Jesus Garcia as the new East Boston Neighborhood Services
Liaison within the Mayor’s Civic Engagement Cabinet
(BOSTON - Wednesday, September 13, 2017) - Mayor Martin J.
Walsh today announced the appointment of Jesus Garcia as the East Boston
Neighborhood Services Liaison within the Mayor’s Civic Engagement
Cabinet. In this role, Jesus will work as an advocate to the East Boston
neighborhood.
“I’m very excited to have Jesus join the Office of
Neighborhood Services,” said Mayor Walsh. “East Boston is a neighborhood
with a very civically-engaged population, and Jesus has demonstrated his
commitment to providing excellent services to the constituents he
serves.”
As the East Boston Liaison, Garcia will serve as the
primary contact for constituents looking to connect with the Mayor's
Office, and will facilitate the delivery of services in collaboration
with City departments.
The Mayor's Office of Neighborhood
Services (ONS) encourages, facilitates and maximizes citizen input and
participation through service requests, neighborhood meetings, mailings
and emergency responses. To report non-emergency issues to the City,
residents are encouraged to connect with BOS:311 by dialing 3-1-1 or by
downloading the free BOS:311 app on iOS or Android platforms.
“I
am honored to be named the liaison for East Boston by Mayor Walsh,” said
Jesus. “Mayor Walsh has made listening and assisting East Boston
residents a priority and I cannot wait to continue that mission in City
Hall.”
Jesus, a native Spanish speaker, moved from Mexico to the
United States in 2009 to work as Deputy Officer in the Department of
Citizen Protection at the Consulate General of Mexico in Boston. In that
job, he built nine years of experience in constituent services assisting
immigrant populations in five New England states.
Jesus received
his Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from the Universidad
Nacional Autónoma de México (National Autonomous University of Mexico)
in 2009. In his free time, he enjoys exploring his home neighborhood of
East Boston, travelling, and experiencing the different cuisines and
cultures in Boston. |
