The Loudoun Youth Poet Laureate Program, sponsored by Loudoun Community Press and the National Youth Poet Laureate Program, is excited to introduce its 2026 Panel of Judges. Next, we introduce Supervisor Laura A. TeKrony, who was elected to represent the Little River District on the Board of Supervisors in November 2023.
She serves on the Board of Supervisors' Joint Board and School Board Committee and the Transportation and Land Use Committee. She is one of Loudoun's representatives on the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments' (COG) Board of Directors and serves on COG's Chesapeake Bay and Water Resources Policy Committee and the Food and Agriculture Regional Member Policy Committee. She is also one of Loudoun's representatives on the Coalition of Loudoun Towns.
Supervisor TeKrony has demonstrated her belief in the value of public service through her volunteer work, including being involved with the parent-teacher associations at her children’s schools, serving on the Aldie Heritage Association Board of Directors and being appointed to serve on two Loudoun County advisory boards – the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Board and the Heritage Commission.
Supervisor TeKrony grew up on a farm in Hopewell, New Jersey. She earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Bucknell University and a master’s degree in marketing from Fordham University. She lives in Aldie, where she and her husband have raised their three daughters. We thank Supervisor TeKrony for serving our region as a Loudoun Youth Poet Laureate Judge!
