She is unopposed in the
November election for
the seat and will be sworn
in on Nov. 18 for her first
full four-year term. Baker
replaces John Cohen who
served on Northern’s
Board since November
2012. Cohen resigned
from the Board in July
due to moving outside of
Northern’s jurisdiction, a
requirement of the seat.
Baker is a special
education teacher with
approximately 20 years
of experience in the Palm Ellen Baker

of the Classroom Teachers Association, was a Peace
Corps volunteer, and a Capitol Hill congressional intern.
She is active and holds leadership positions in various

is a Connecticut native who has traveled to three other
continents. As a long-time resident of Palm Beach County

she has seen the community grow. Ellen is a devoted

being a part of an organization that serves the community
that she calls home.
