Greenburgh Town Councilwoman Gina Jackson has proven leadership skills, a passion for her community, and diligently works for the best outcomes and progressive results.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Concordia College and a Human Resources certificate from Cornell University. While in office, she also obtained a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion certificate from Cornell University and completed the McKinsey Black Leadership Accelerator Program.
Gina works for the New York Power Authority (NYPA), America’s largest state power organization. For the past seven years, she has been a key member of the team that spearheads the procurement strategy for NYPA, with one overarching focus: to ensure the supplier pipeline is reflective of the constituents it serves. This has resulted in a
wider pool of candidates and a more competitive supplier base that includes Minority Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses for Diversity (SDVOB).
Most importantly, Gina’s experiences have shaped her understanding of the necessity to build and maintain great relationships, and she has done so successfully with governmental officials and stakeholders on the local, county, state and federal levels. Since being installed in 2020, Gina has been an effective, hands-on Greenburgh Town Councilwoman.
There are many challenges still to be met, as well as initiatives to be implemented. Gina trusts that her experience and accomplishments to date highlight why she is the right person to continue to address Greenburgh’s challenges in the most equitable, professional, and community-minded manner. Change does not happen overnight. Difficult, sometimes uncomfortable, discussions need to be had. Gina does not shy away from these discussions, yet she also remains optimistic about our future.
Gina strongly believes that we are all witnesses to our changing world as reflected in the changes needed within our community. She sees her role as a member of the Town Council as one that functions with the best interests of all Greenburgh residents kept at the forefront of each decision made and plan implemented.
Gina is a member of the Working Families Party, NAACP, Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus, Inc., Black Democrats Of Westchester County, Westchester Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and NYPA’s Women-In-Power.
