People in Government

Township Committee

Plainsboro is governed by a five-member Township Committee, elected at large to staggered 3-year terms. Each January 1, the committee reorganizes and elects a Mayor and Deputy Mayor from among its own members.

Name	Role
Edmund C. Yates	Mayor
David Bander	Deputy Mayor
Neil J. Lewis	Committeeman
Nuran Nabi	Committeeman
Reeta Sharma	Committeewoman

This roster was cross-checked two ways: against the official Mayor & Township Committee page, and independently against the roll call on the township's own July 8, 2026 meeting agenda — both list the same five names. Committee membership can change with elections; re-check the official page if you're reading this well after July 2026.

Regular meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of the month; agenda meetings are the 4th Wednesday. Both are held at 7:00 PM at the Municipal Complex, 641 Plainsboro Road.

Boards

Planning Board — reviews development, subdivision, and site-plan applications. Members serve 4-year terms.
Zoning Board of Adjustment — hears zoning variance and appeal applications.

See the Development tracker for what's actually in front of the Planning Board right now.
