For the past five years,
Bayside resident Eileen Miller
has served as the third vice
chair on Queens Community
Board 11.
At the group’s March 4
meeting, community board
members elected Miller
as the new chairperson,
replacing Christine Haider
who assumed the role in 2014.
After a collective 12 years as
a community board member,
Miller told QNS that she’s
ready to take on a larger
leadership role.
“I feel strongly that I have
the experience and aptitude to
fill the role of chair. I believe
all ideas that will positively
affect our communities should
be evaluated,” Miller said.
Miller went up against
Douglaston resident Douglas
Montgomery and won in a vote
of 27-8. Former chairperson
and Auburndale resident
Haider beat out Victor Dadras
to fill the role as first vice
chairperson. Haider has been
a member of the community
board’s advisory panel
since 1991.
Joining Miller and Haider
on the executive board is
Little Neck resident Dadras as
second vice chairperson and
Auburndale resident Henry
Euler as the third vice chair.
The new executive board will
lead its first community board
meeting on Monday, April 1, at
M.S. 158 in Bayside.
Community board members
are allowed to serve for four
consecutive two-year terms
as per a policy put forth by
the mayor’s Charter Revision
Commission. During the
2018 Midterm Elections, New
Yorkers overwhelmingly voted
“yes” to term limits, which
passed in a vote 72.3 percent
to 27.7 percent according to
voting results.
Miller graduated from
CUNY Bronx Community
College in 1975 and earned an
associate of applied science
degree. Following graduation,
Miller took the New York
State Board of Nursing exam
and became a registered
professional nurse. She

one of community, fairness

position, so together with
others on Community Board
11, we can make a change to
better all of our communities,”
Miller said.
