Elliot S. Conway, Mayor
Elliot was raised in Brookville and has been a resident of Upper Brookville with his wife and two daughters for 22 years.
He spent his career in structured finance at Citibank, where he retired as a Senior Credit Officer and Managing Director in 2009. His specialty was infrastructure finance with tax, accounting and regulatory components. He earned a BA in Economics from Cornell University and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
He previously served the village as a volunteer consultant during the Old Brookville Police Department contract renegotiation in 2012 and, later, as an Alternate on the Board of Zoning Appeals. In 2012 he successfully appealed a BZA decision to the New York State Supreme Court, protecting the village from a dangerous precedent that could have significantly eroded setback laws.
He currently serves on the Finance Policy Committee of the New York State Conference of Mayors and Municipal Officials (NYCOM), an association of, and for, cities and villages in New York. NYCOM represents about 12 million New Yorkers. The Finance Policy Committee provides general guidance and policy recommendations to the NYCOM Executive Committee and staff, develops positions on various pieces of legislation, and considers new legislative proposals that will benefit cities and villages.
Elliot also serves on the Board as Treasurer of the Nasssau County Village Officials Association (NCVOA). The NCVOA is an organization comprising and representing all of Nassau County’s 64 villages with 450,000 residents. It was created for the purpose of encouraging and stimulating cooperation among its member villages for their mutual benefit and welfare.
Elliot serves as a Police Commissioner of the Old Brookville Police Department and also as a member of the Nassau County Police Commissioner’s Community Council (CCC). The objective of the CCC is to improve the effectiveness of Nassau County police service by better addressing specific community needs as well as to better provide the police with support. The ultimate goal is to increase community and officer safety and crime reduction.
Helen Solomon, Trustee
As a lifelong resident of the North Shore of Long Island, and longtime resident of Upper Brookville, I am honored to serve as Trustee. I grew up in Locust Valley, and have lived in Upper Brookville for 25 years with my husband Steven Solomon. We raised our three children in this beautiful Village. I have been honored to give back to Upper Brookville by serving on the Zoning Board of Appeals for 3 years, and prior to that on the Beautification Committee. I also ran Upper Brookville’s program to restore the dogwoods (the Village’s official tree) a few years ago.
Outside of my service for Upper Brookville, I am currently a member of the Women’s Board of Fresh Meadow Country Club and an avid canasta and bridge player, who has achieved Life Master status. I also have a passion for interior design and gardening.
