Parsippany Mayor Adds To The Library Board

PARSIPPANY, NJ – Mayor Michael Soriano appointmented Sushmita Sharma
to the Parsippany Library Board last month.

“I’m looking forward to Sushmita’s service on our Library Board of Trustees,” Soriano said. “I think it’s vitally important that our Library Board have trustees with children in our schools. Sushmita will provide that important perspective in our mission to continually build on our library system’s fantastic services.”

Sharma is an active member of the Parsippany community, with volunteer experience for several Parsippany-based organizations. She has run a small apparel business and worked as a teacher. She resides in Glenmont Commons with her husband, Anil, and two daughters.

Sushmita’s daughter, Riya Dadheech, is a Parsippany middle school student who started a successful nonprofit charity in Parsippany. Riya organized an art exhibit and silent auction event to support “Purple Paint - Girl’s Dignity & Empowerment” and at this event she raised over $7,000 towards the construction of toilets in schools in rural areas in India. This will help young girls continue their education.

“I’m proud to be able to serve this community that’s given so much to my family,” Sharma said. “The Parsippany Library System provides critical services to all residents of our township, from students to seniors, and I can’t wait to get to work on the issues we face.”

Sharma’s term will run through 2024.
