Featured Speaker: Westchester County Board of Legislators Chair Vedat Gashi*
Topic: Overview of the State of the County
*Vedat Gashi is the current Chair of the Westchester County Board of Legislators and represents District 4 (New Castle, Ossining, Somers, Yorktown). He was born in Kosovo (formerly Yugoslavia) in 1978. At the age of 4, he and his family fled the oppressive, socialist regime to the United States. After graduating from Lakeland High School, Gashi obtained a B.A. from Connecticut College, and a J.D. from Seton Hall University.
Upon passing the New York Bar, Gashi joined the US/EU effort to help establish the newly formed state of Kosovo. Gashi was later nominated by the United Nations to serve as the Chief Legal Advisor to Kosovo’s Prime Minister.
Shortly after Kosovo declared independence, Gashi returned to his home in the United States where he opened his own real estate legal practice in Yorktown Heights and in the Bronx. Currently, Gashi lives and works in Yorktown, with his wife and children. He joined the Rotary Club of Yorktown, has been active in his kids’ school, sports, and scouting, and is an active member of the Yorktown Democratic Party where he serves as a Democratic District Leader.
