Dear Residents and Friends,

It has been an honor serving as your mayor for the past six years. Thank you for the trust you placed in me to lead Chester Township.

I am confident that mayor-elect Mike Inganamort will continue the excellent leadership he's shown on the council and I wish him much success in his new role.

There is a mantra the U.S. Navy uses to describe its priorities: Ship, Shipmate, Self. The mission of the Navy comes first, the needs of the team are next and self is at the bottom of the hierarchy. This was my guiding principle as mayor - the priority was always what was best for Chester Township as a whole. I had the privilege of serving with council members, staff and professionals who also shared this perspective.

There are many accomplishments of which I'm proud, but what brings me the most joy is the number of residents who were inspired by my leadership to volunteer their time and talents to Chester Township. Thank you to everyone who helped me preserve and protect Chester Township and prepare it for the future, one in which future generations will continue to Choose Chester!

Warmly,

Mayor Marcia Asdal
