FOR BREAKING N EWS VISIT www.qns.com MARCH 10, 2016 • THE COURIER SUN 17 SCOTT BARON’S STAR OF QUEENS Bryan J. Block Chairman Community Board 13 Role as Chair: Chairman Bryan J. Block enjoys his role as chair of the most diverse community brought to you by star OF queens SCOTT BARON & ASSOCIATES, P.C. Attorneys & Counselors at Law 1-866-WAS-HURT (866) 927-4878 718.738.9800 board in New York. This diversity within the local communities allows him to have personal interactions with residents stemming from a variety of cultures. This is an experience he would not trade for anything in the world. P ersonal B ack g round : Block’s heritage derives from the Caribbean. His mother is from the island of Trinidad & Tobago and his father is from St. Thomas. He lived in Brooklyn until the age of 10 and has since then been living in Cambria Heights. Chairman Block is an active member of his local parish, Sacred Heart Church and has also been volunteering at St. Patrick’s Cathedral for over 20 years. Profesional Background: Before taking on the position of chairman, he worked as a paralegal at a major NYC law firm. Motivation: Nothing motivates Block more than his love for the community. His objective is to be a voice for the unheard within his district. Very often people in the community are unaware of where to go for help in terms of correcting problems within their neighborhood. Chairman Block enjoys being that liaison that allows people to breathe a little bit easier on a daily basis. Favorite Memory: His favorite memory was the night of his election six years ago. Upon being chosen as chairman, a feeling of elation came over him. Block was honored that so much confidence was being placed in him to represent the local communities. Biggest Challenge: A challenge Block addresses on a daily basis is meeting the needs of everyone within the community. He does his best to work alongside his board, in order to meet those same needs. However, he wishes that there were more time in the day to address the quality of life for all residents. Biggest Accomplishment: His biggest accomplishment has been to unite the board to vote against synthetic marijuana as well as assisting in the promotion of the last U.S. census. The synthetic marijuana problem is one that hurts everyone and Block is pleased with the fact that the government and state have continued to look into this issue. Aside from this, facilitating the completion of, and dispelling people’s fears about filling out the U.S. Census benefits the future needs of the community at large.
