Meet Brookhaven Town Councilman Neil Foley

Whether it comes to his job as deputy supervisor of the Town of Brookhaven, councilman for the 5th district or maintaining a work/life balance as a husband and father of four, Neil Foley says it all starts with listening.

“You have to listen, really listen to what the other person is saying,” says Foley, who has been in public office for 13 years. “This is true whether you’re talking about your work-life balance or listening to residents. They need to know you’re really listening.”
