Leslie Farhangi, a resident of Millerton, New York since 1989, has a history of community involvement that includes being instrumental in forming the rural Coleman Station Historic District and getting it listed on the National Register of Historic Places. She has served on many community oriented boards such as Hudsonia, Ltd., an environmental group based at Bard College, the Northeast Community Center, and the Town of Northeast Planning Board. Initially, she and her husband, John Tuke, and their three sons, were weekend residents only. They became full time residents of their community in 1991 and since then, both she and her husband have been very active in local community work and service. She is currently managing their farm and operates a small boarding stable. Leslie has an LL.M. degree from Cambridge University, a JD from Stanford University, and her professional experience as a lawyer with Davis Polk & Wardwell and then as Assistant General Counsel to The News Corporation, along with her dedication and concern about the area that she and her family live in, have made her a driving force and an asset in her community.
