Our guests this month is Paradise Valley Mayor Jerry Bien-Willner and his wife Robyn Bien-Willner. Mayor Jerry Bien-Willner is a third-term Mayor, a native Arizonan, and spent his childhood in Paradise Valley and attended Scottsdale public schools (SUSD) through high school. After, he attended Claremont McKenna College and U of A on academic scholarships and graduated with the highest academic honors. Robyn was born in South Africa, but grew up in Irvine, CA and moved to NYC to pursue fashion, which is where the two met and married. 

We talk about how Jerry went from a high-stakes litigation lawyer in NYC to third-term, volunteer Mayor and why he finds civic work so rewarding and how you can find rewarding ways to be of service. Robyn contributes a monthly column for Stroll Paradise Valley Magazine profiling local businesses, interesting people and other news worthy topics within the community. We discuss the laws, permit process, short-term rentals, senior living options, home prices, and the future of PV!
