Helen Moss was the Seat 2 member of the Brentwood Union Free Board of Education in New York. She was first elected to the board in 2004 as the Seat 1 member.[1] She defeated fellow incumbent Michael Jahkhah to win the Seat 2 position in a general election on May 20, 2014.[2]

Moss immigrated to the United States from Belize in 1969. She spent part of her career as a billing manager and financial analyst with a Long Island marketing firm before entering the medical billing field.[1]
Elections
2014
Helen Moss defeated incumbent Michael Jahkhah and challenger Eileen Felix for Seat 2 in the general election on May 20, 2014. Moss and Elizabeth Mercado ran as a slate for the two open seats.[2]
All members are elected to three-year terms by specific geographic districts that are aligned with the district's elementary school attendance areas. These seats do not have titles, but they are considered distinct from one another. Ballotpedia assigned generic titles to all seven seats on the board to prevent confusion. These seat titles are arbitrary and do not reflect the status or seniority of the board members holding them.
