Tag Archives: Patricia Norris-McDonald

A life long resident, a compassionate individual and the Mayor of Malverne, Patricia Ann Norris-McDonald has been an active member of the community since she can remember. Out of all the residents I decided to select Norris-McDonald because she is known throughout Malverne, in a personal and professional environment and people are interested in talking about her.

Through this interview she will be questioned about what makes Malverne a unique place? Why did she decide to serve as Mayor of the village? Is there anything during her term in office that she would change? What are some of her accomplishment while in office? Through everything she has been through how does she stay positive? Has the village and its resident helped her through the difficult times she has faced? When making decisions that impact the residents what goes through her mind?

Working with her on the Board of Trustees, I would interview Trustee Joseph Hennessey and Trustee Michael Bailey about how they feel she runs the village and how they perceive her personally. However, her tenure as Mayor is only a small portion of her time in Malverne, I would also speak with other life-long residents to discover how McDonald is known. Some of these individuals include Patricia Callahan and Robert Powers, both have known her for years.

As a resident I am familiar with Mayor McDonald and through my knowledge and contacts I aim to see what makes McDonald such devoted resident and what others feel about their mayor and fellow citizen. She has suffered great tragedy in her life, she takes care of her husband that is former NYPD detective and is paralyzed from an incident on the job and still has time to focus on others.
