Linda Cheng-Khan
As a longtime Montclair resident, I have had the privilege of serving our community for over two decades; from event volunteer to committee member and elected positions on the MPOA Board. My family put down roots here in 2003; in 2018 we moved into our second Montclair home because we truly believe in the value, character, and potential of this community.
​
My experience provides strong working knowledge of our guidelines and operations; yet it does not make me rigid. If anything, it has shown me that healthy communities evolve with intention. I value tradition while embracing thoughtful adaptation when needs change. I am comfortable acknowledging when longstanding rules serve us well and when it is time to revisit them. I am the administrator of Montclair Moms, a valuable community resource where I am closely connected to neighbors’ everyday experiences.
​
Professionally, I serve as a Compliance Supervisor in Finance; I oversee financial professionals to ensure adherence to rules designed to protect consumers. That responsibility closely parallels the MPOA’s role in upholding standards that protect homeowners and preserve the integrity of Montclair. This background helps me approach Board decisions with practicality, fairness, and a balanced understanding of resident needs alongside Board obligations.
​
I believe the MPOA functions best with open, two way communication. Transparency, clarity, and accountability matter; I will continue to advocate for these principles. I also feel strongly that Montclair must remain both competitive and desirable; which means planning ahead, maintaining and updating our amenities responsibly, and investing in our future in a cost conscious and strategic way. Being proactive rather than reactive is essential to keeping our community strong.
​
Above all, I remain an optimistic and constructive voice; I have helped deliver community events and positive changes that reflect my belief in connection and progress. I am accessible, eager for new ideas, and committed to practical solutions. I approach every issue with curiosity, respect, and willingness to hear all sides.
Looking ahead, I hope to help Montclair continue growing thoughtfully so it remains a community we are all proud to call home.

Thank you for your continued support.
