We wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Michael Williams as a candidate for the Concord School Committee. Michael is not only highly qualified but also deeply committed to making a meaningful impact on our schools and community.
After retiring from an exceptional career as a pediatric ENT surgeon, Michael has devoted himself to a broad range of interests, including beekeeping, birdwatching, photography, astronomy, and exploring Concord’s African American history. This remarkable breadth of intellectual curiosity and dedication reflects his passion for lifelong learning — a passion he will undoubtedly bring to the School Committee.
Michael is a man of integrity and diligence. Having raised four children in Concord alongside his wife, Clary, he has gained a firsthand understanding of our school system’s strengths and areas for growth. He has taken the time to thoughtfully study the district and its challenges, driven by his innate desire to understand complex issues and craft thoughtful solutions. His experience as a surgeon — where precision, analysis, and a commitment to excellent outcomes were paramount — equips him with a unique skill set to address the pressing needs of our schools.
Just as important, Michael is a compassionate and collaborative leader. His kind and approachable nature ensures that he will be an effective team player who listens carefully to all voices. He is steadfast in his commitment to inclusivity and to empowering every child to reach their fullest potential.
Michael embodies the qualities of leadership, intellectual rigor, and empathy that Concord needs to navigate the future of our school system. We are confident that his expertise, character, and dedication will make him an outstanding member of the School Committee.
We urge you to join us in supporting Dr. Michael Williams — a candidate who truly cares about our schools and community.
