Tara Voigt Elected, Sworn in as New Vienna Town Council Member

After some shakeup in Town Hall, the town of Vienna is back in rhythm as the summer continues, now with a completely elected Town Council in place.

New Councilmember Tara Voigt, a town resident since 2000, has taken over a seat on the Council in place of departing Councilman Emil Attanasi, who’d filled in on the Council since last May when former Councilwoman Laurie DiRocco took over for Jane Seeman as the town’s mayor.

Voigt, who was sworn in prior to her first Council meeting on July 6, ran unopposed to permanently fill the seat on the Council, as did re-elected Councilmen Howard J. Springsteen and Carey J. Sienicki.

“I’m excited to join Town Council and I’m looking forward to serving the citizens of the Town of Vienna,“ Voigt said.

Voigt has previously served on the town’s Planning Commission and as the Chair of the town’s Transportation Safety Commission. She’s also held leadership roles in James Madison Band, James Madison Crew Volunteers, Vienna Aquatic Club, Girl Scouts, La Leche League and as PTA President at Marshall Road Elementary School.

In addition to her seat on Town Council, she also serves as an Assistant Director at FB Meekins Preschool.
