Anne Utech is a stay-at-home mom, small business owner, school leader and dedicated volunteer running for the Germantown School Board. Along with her husband, Anne has lived in the Germantown School District since 2015 and is raising four children in the district - three attending Amy Belle Elementary and one at Kennedy Middle School.

Anne is deeply involved in school and community life. She currently serves as the PTA President at Amy Belle Elementary, volunteers in her children's classrooms and coaches girls' volleyball with the Germantown Recreation Department and Jr. Warhawks programs. These roles have given her a direct, day-to-day understanding of what students, teachers and families need to feel supported and succeed.

Anne is running for Germantown School Board to strengthen openness and communication. She believes families and staff deserve a board that listens, responds and works in partnership with the entire community, including those of us who live outside the village of Germantown. Her focus is on bringing people together - making sure voices are heard and conversations are welcomed.

As a board member, Anne will:

*Listen to families, teachers and students

*Bring community feedback directly to the Board table

*Advocate for clear, authentic communication from the Board to the community

*Look at issues with a parent's perspective, not a bureaucratic mindset

Above all, Anne wants parents and staff to feel connected to their schools and confident in the future of the Germantown school district. She will always approach her work with empathy, common sense and a genuine love for the community where she is raising her family.

Anne believes Germantown's strength lies in its people - and she is ready to serve them.
