My name is Kathie Bogdan, and I have dedicated my life to raising three successful daughters in this community where I have lived all my life. After my children completed their college education, I enrolled in Labouré to study nursing, eventually transferring to Boston University. During my time in college, I joined the conservation commission, where I was appointed by the select board to serve. I quickly rose to the position of chairperson, which involved collaborating with the town clerk, attending numerous meetings, conducting site visits, and engaging with contractors, builders, and private citizens.

Following my tenure on the conservation commission, I was appointed to the inaugural beach management committee. As chairperson, I worked alongside eight dedicated private citizens to develop a comprehensive beach management plan for North Nantasket Beach. This plan included the installation of fencing and the creation of pathways leading away from the beach. We successfully secured approval from all governing bodies, culminating in the select board’s endorsement of our plan – the first of its kind on the South Shore.

Subsequently, I was elected to the Hull Housing Authority. Since my appointment, we have implemented several key improvements, including new windows, new roofs, and fire extinguishers in each hallway. I continue to collaborate with the commission to drive further enhancements to our housing facilities.

Additionally, I have joined the Affordable Housing Committee, as I am committed to advocating for the development of more affordable housing options in our community.
