11 2018 AWARD RECIPIENTS Trustee of the Year Award The Honorable Toni Nathaniel Harp Mayor City of New Haven, Connecticut An abiding commitment to social justice steers New Haven Mayor Toni Harp s career in public service. Her drive for inclusiveness, equality, and integrity is the byproduct of resonant, across-the-board life experiences. Toni was raised in Salt Lake City, the youngest of six children. Both parents worked to support the household; Toni s tireless work ethic is a function of lessons learned from her parents. In the 1960s, Toni moved to the south side of Chicago to attend Roosevelt University. After she earned a degree in English she began working for the American Society of Planning Officials, launching a lifelong interest in urban planning and how cities work. From there, Toni was recruited to study at Yale s School of Architecture where she earned a Master s degree. Toni s public service in elected office began first as a member of New Haven s Board of Aldermen, and then for 21 years as state Senator for Connecticut s 10 th District. Toni is now the first woman ever to serve as Mayor of New Haven; she is presently serving her third term. Throughout her distinguished career, Toni s policy priorities have never changed: Full access to affordable healthcare, regardless of ethnic, cultural, or economic differences. A responsive and effective public safety network working hand-in-hand with an equitable criminal justice system. Maximizing opportunity for each individual student through public education, with particular emphasis on early childhood learning and development of reading skills. Job creation and economic development so city residents can enjoy the rewards and responsibilities of productive engagement, and so a vibrant city can provide necessary services without putting an excessive burden on taxpayers. Toni Harp has lived in New Haven for more than 40 years and was the Homeless Service Director at the Cornell Scott Hill Health Center for more than 20 years. She is the proud mother of three grown and accomplished children Djana, Jamil, and Matthew. In 2017, Matthew s wife Keisha joined the family, and in 2018 Matthew and Keisha welcomed a son, Wendell.
