Meet Karen A. Foster

My name is Karen Adelman Foster. I serve on the Natick School Committee, and I ask for your vote on March 31.

Before becoming a member of the School Committee, I served as co-president of Natick Education Foundation and advocated for years on my own for better schools. With many of you, I worked hard in the campaign for Yes for Natick, and before that for the new Wilson Middle School and improved Kennedy Middle School.

I serve on Natick's Charter and By-Law Review Committee and am a Town Meeting Member from Precinct 6. These experiences give me an understanding of other issues facing the town. I make a point of talking to people who disagree with me, and of trying to find consensus. Please contact me and tell me what your priorities are.

Under my professional name, Karen Adelman, I'm an independent writer and marketing consultant with a BA from Swarthmore College and an MFA from the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop. My husband, Robert Foster, and I have three school-age children.

I ask for one of your two votes for the two open three-year seats on March 31st. Thanks for caring about our town and our schools.
