Financial professional Lauren Archer is running unopposed for a seat on theVillage of Roslyn Harbor Board of Trustees, seeking to succeed Trustee Abby Kurlender, who is not running for reelection.
Archer, a resident of the village since 2011, said her decision to run was driven by a desire to give back to the community where she and her family live.
“I love living here and I’m excited about the opportunity to serve the people of the community,” Archer said.
Originally from Sea Cliff, she said she returned to the North Shore more than a decade ago with her husband, who grew up in Roslyn Harbor. The couple chose the village in part because of its neighborhoods, school district and community character.
“We love the neighborhood, we love the school district, and we love all that goes with the community,” she said.
Archer said she was encouraged to consider running by local officials, including village leaders she already knew. Among them was James Frischer, a current trustee who is also seeking reelection, and Mayor Sandy Quentzel.
She said she was drawn to the idea of helping preserve the character of Roslyn Harbor while contributing to local decision-making.
“I want to help maintain the history of the town,” Archer said.
If elected, Archer said her professional background in finance would help inform the board’s oversight of village finances and budgeting.
She currently works at Prime Quadrant, a wealth management firm that serves high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families. Archer said she has spent about 12 years with the firm’s U.S. operations after previously working for 14 years at Goldman Sachs in its asset management division.
