Letter: DiCarlo Has Leadership Skills for Committee

A longtime colleague of Denice DiCarlo says the candidate's leadership history makes her the best choice for West Deptford Township Committee.

 

To the Editor:

I am writing to endorse Denice DiCarlo for the West Deptford Township Committee. 

I have known Denice for more than 10 years. In 2002, I hired Denice at Comcast Corporation into the Corporate Accounting Department and she quickly advanced. She was my lead manager and we had a team of 16 professionals. In 2003, the vice president of financial reporting hired Denice to lead the Corporate Sarbanes-Oxley section 404 implementation. She was responsible for ensuring compliance of all corporate processes by year-end 2004. In 2006, I asked Denice to again join my new team at PBS KIDS Sprout, a Comcast joint venture, as my accounting lead. As always, Denice quickly advanced to vice president and controller. Finally, in 2010, the CFO of the Comcast Programming Group asked Denice to lead the NBCU/Comcast system integration.

Like everything Denice does, she looked at this project as an opportunity. She completed this assignment in 2011 and came back to Sprout where continues to help us grow our audience and our business. Denice is recognized as a leader by all of us at Sprout and our colleagues at NBCU/Comcast. She is a valued member of the Sprout Senior Leadership Team. 

Over the 10 years I have known her, I obviously have had the opportunity to observe Denice’s leadership effectiveness. The roles described above require Denice to not only have a natural aptitude for leadership, but also demand that she continually enhance her core leadership abilities, while developing superior technical and project management skills. 

Denice is an exceptional and effective leader. In my opinion, she possesses two key ingredients required to be an effective leader. First, Denice leads by example. Denice is an extremely hard working individual. She expects the same or more from herself, than she does from her staff. Denice consistently demonstrates an unwavering commitment to providing outstanding service and completing her assigned projects. 

Second, and maybe more importantly, for Denice, people always come first. Denice demonstrates a sincere concern for the specific needs and development of the people she has the responsibility to lead. She creates an extremely positive and collaborative environment for the team to operate to obtain maximum results. 

In summary, Denice DiCarlo has an innate gift for leadership. This talent, coupled with her dedication and concern for the individual, provides an exceptional formula for a successful leader and what we want to see in all our publicly elected officials. I can think of no better person to be elected to the West Deptford Township Committee.

get a endorsement from a company that bilks the people's money whenever they want.
now she is really pulling straws. first of all the position denise holds anyone can fill that position CPA not required.
as far as leadership Dicarlo couldn't lead a slew of baby ducks to water if she was the mother duck.
At this stage of the game the residents already know who they want.
JEFF HANSEN.hard working and he doesn't LIE.

Who wrote this George Norcross?

No mention of her being honest & trustworthy. This is an important asset, in my opinion for political figures. People who lie about their credentials have no place in politics

What is leadership if you don't get your way...for example with the debate?
I went to Riverwinds Friday night. Hansen and his moderator were present. Hansen answered many questions from the audience. Mrs. DiCarlo failed to show up. As her colleague above says people come first, then why did she put her debate requests first and not the people who wanted to hear her answers from the audience. I have served under several military leaders when things did not go their way. They showed up and did not turn away. Their concern was for the people/soldiers under his command. That is leadership. DiCarlo is no leader in my opinion. AND I guess if you advertise your campaign on Patch, you can determine the Patch reporter not to show Friday night. The Times reporter sat in the back of the room.

And I guess if you are appointed to the RiverWinds Advisory Committee under Hansen you would feel that way Colonel! For the record Hansen and his "friend" (not the moderator) were there. As for the lies, #16 on the 20 point campaign plan says no pay to play. Jeff is a fraud and has accepted numerous contributions from the very people he said he never would. Talk about lies and hypocrisy! The only thing you ever got close to correct is when you said it is a circus. Too bad it is a three ring circus and Sam, Ray and Jeff are the ring leaders.

Mr.Libby thank you for the promotion, but I was not at officer grade. I do not know who you are referring to. I was an E-5. I served under real leadership. Mrs. DiCarlo is not. Mrs. DiCarlo finally disgusted me when she blatantly deceived and misrepresented Hansen's son being on Villary's team. His last year as WD coach, Hansen's son was in sixth grade. Hansen only has a three point plan. Explain this then Angelini has contributed $4500 to the campaign of DiCarlo. So, if DiCarlo wins, Angelini will not contribute?

A very glowing letter indeed. There is no doubt in my mind after watching how Denise DiCarlo conducts herself for the last nine months on the committee that she is quite capable of hitting the ground running and thinks fast on her feet. In this letter from her employer she is being touted as a leader. Her position on the committee is that of a team player. We already have a leader and that is the Mayor. What we really need now is for everyone to work together smoothly as team players. What may well work at Comcast does not work well in West Deptford politics. Unfortunately for DiCarlo, she's carrying too much "Political Baggage". The mere fact of just being mentioned in the same sentence with Gerry White or the "Others" spells political suicide for DiCarlo. You've see how the editorial rebuttals start flowing whenever anything political is posted on the Patch. Unfortunately that's the case here in West Deptford. Jeff Hanson seems to be more balanced in how he deals with individuals and he is not bought and paid for. I feel he will do well as a Committee person.

Wayne you're still bad! You really need to go back to school, your spelling and grammar are appalling! Perhaps you had a few too many beers last night (yes, that's how you spell it) in Mommy's basement. It was Jeff Hansen that showed up last night, where was your mighty leader Denice, I would say she was the one who was afraid of the debate, perhaps because a few more lies would come out.

ducess; ask youself a simple question; how many we're republicans? I'll bet you a drink that they,all 50 people were your republican cronies! Hansen had all of September, October and one week in November! What's your answer or can you come up with one? I just got his literature and I have to say he's the liar and it will show on Tuesday nite! Have a beer on me,Sam!!!

Wayne and Keeping it Real, you both sound so bitter and like a couple of school kids. Obviously you couldn't have been at the debate last night Wayne because I saw quite a few D's there and quite a few unhappy D's too, unhappy with the lies, corruption that this town has had to put up with over the last 20 years. Well Tuesday night it will all be changing and Wayne you can buy me that drink!

Let me start off by saying that I'm an independent and up until a week ago I was still unsure who I was going to vote for. After being inundated though with all the negative mailings from Mr. Hansen though there is no way I'm voting for him. I'm not sure why he went that route. From reading all of the information on him he seems like a nice guy with some good ideas. Why not just run on those ideas? If I voted for him is his campaign an indication of how he would act if elected? If someone presented a different idea that he didn't agree with would he resort to the same negativity instead of working to find a compromise or a middle ground? I'm not willing to take that chance so I'm going to have to vote for Ms. DiCarlo. I hope the Republicans and Democrats can work together to make West Deptford an even better place to live.

EricR, You believe the negative mailers are from the R camp? Did you get the D mailer, without disclosure and without a return label, but a link to their cheezy site where they slander a R supporter? Someone that is not even running? Some that volunteers and has a family and pays his taxes? And have you seen the Dem site? No credibility, no factual documents, and nothing but negative ads. If calling out someone that LIES about HER credentials and where they went they went to school is negative....I'll take it! The truth hurts.

I am flabbergasted to say the least. PATCH where is your late breaking story Friday afternoon to say the debate appears not to be on. You certainly have breaking stories when a goal is scored or a cat is in a tree on Lockesly Lane. Your absolute news about the debate was Friday morning telling us there may not be a debate.

No news after, no news since. You didn't even report that folks showed up last Friday night. The only news of that is in the commentary following this and maybe another story.

Patch could you have not had one of your late breaking stories Friday "Debate Still Off" or "Parties Decide To Show Anyway". Possibly the second hypothetical story you had no idea. Because.......

The dems might have decided not to publicize it or show because of thier unreasonable obstanance at a moderatir choice.

The GOP planned to show never to publicize so they cluld say "look we showed and nobody else did". All along the PATCH never took the initiative or duty to follow the story more leading up to the assigned time.

The party leaders news to stop dictating the actions and believe of those running and give what the residents deserve honest, heated, respectful forum to help them decide. Not a late breaking story a doily sale at the Mantua K-Mart.

Is there a good Indeoendent in the house that isn't cloistered or leashes by thier party?

Dave

Leashed not leashes in case Mr Klotz tries to spell check me.

wayne one question when denice loses on tuesday does that mean you won't be spewing at the mouth on here anymore or are you going to go thru a lot of crying towels wiping away the tears.Dicarlo is not very well liked in this township.Oh she has a few but in reality ever since the Boe days she is hated because if they liked her that much she should have been elected last election.
