A New Year, A New Board

Supervisor Judith Henckel
Upper Mount Bethel Township welcomes Judith Henckel to the Board of Supervisors. While Judy brings a new face to the Board, she certainly is no stranger to the Township. She has been actively involved with various groups such as the Township Environmental Advisory Council, the Township Open Space Committee, the Northampton County Open Space Committee and Martins-Jacoby Creek Watershed Association, to name a few. Judy will give the Board of Supervisors a new perspective, as do all new Supervisors. There is much to be accomplished this year and in coming years. We are confident that Judy will help us meet the many goals and dreams for the future of our Community. We wish her the best of luck in this position and look forward to working with her.

Supervisor Joseph Battillo
Joe Battillo ended his term in office on January 7, 2008. During his tenure, he accomplished many positive tasks. Joe’s support of our emergency services and unlimited aide during our emergency situations helped to put Upper Mount Bethel Township on a pro-active path concerning these issues. His strong belief and leadership in cooperative efforts for both the Board of Supervisors and Intermunicipal applications allowed us to complete projects that otherwise would have been put aside. This leadership has laid the ground work for us to continue these efforts in order to provide the best service possible to our residents while keeping the costs as low as possible. Joe will remain involved in the community. Just one way he is doing this is by retaining his position on our Emergency Management Team. We thank him for his dedication and help. Good Luck Joe!
