Amy Cho, President of Santa Clara Library Foundation*
I have worked side-by-side with Harbir for two years as board members at the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends. During that time, I observed Harbir lead as President and Vice President with a clear vision and drive as well as communicate eloquently and effectively. She was key in establishing a sustainable strategy, building fundraising opportunities and partnerships, and lifting the organization to the next level.
When she mentioned her run for City Council to me, I was absolutely thrilled – a diverse, strong Santa Clara deserves a representative and advocate with talents, knowledge, and experience like Harbir’s. Her leadership is one-of-a-kind, balancing and combining many traits: authenticity, humility, passion, dedication, reason, practicality, initiative, creativity, and positivity. She is a model for how to be a better servant to the community. When making decisions, she welcomes, listens, and respects everyone’s input in order to make a better choice and brighter future.
It’s abundantly clear how much she loves family, friends, community, and people in general – she has their best interests in her heart. I have great faith Harbir K. Bhatia is the best choice for Santa Clara City Council District 1.
