The Mahwah Township Board of Education on Jan. 8, 2025 swore in three reelected members and elected Dr. Morphy as board president, with Rick DeSilva chosen as first vice president and Benjamin Kesmarski selected as second vice president.
Business administrator and board secretary Thomas Lam administered the oaths of office to Tristan D'Aveniero, Michael Gallo and Benjamin Kesmarski. After nominations, the board conducted roll-call votes and approved the slate of officers by board vote.
The new officers will preside over the board's 2025 work, including upcoming committee assignments and strategic-plan meetings that administrators said will guide district priorities. In brief remarks after the vote, Dr. Morphy thanked colleagues and district staff, saying she was “humbled and grateful to be selected by my colleagues to serve another year as president.”
The elections took place during the district's reorganization session at the administrative offices, where the board followed standard roll-call procedures. Thomas Lam opened the meeting and led the initial business until the new president assumed the gavel.
No formal dissent or amendments to the officer nominations were recorded on the roll-call votes taken during the meeting.
