Link to Precinct Finder Email Address ellengolombek@gmail.com Please explain any employment experience, board/committee experience, and/or community volunteer experience relative to the board/committee applying for. During my professional life, I have worked for a variety of non- profits and NGOs. I understand how government works at all levels. As the former Exec Director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, appointed by then Gov. John Hickenlooper, I know how difficult understanding the bigger picture and greater good can be when making day to day decisions that impact the lives of citizens. Working on a local level is even more "personal" as decisions are made that affect neighbors and friends. I've sat on a number of boards and 2 committees during my 45+ years and volunteered for numerous committees. Boards: Mile High United Way, Save our School (Denver), Pinnacol Assurance Board, CareerWise Colorado, National Association of Government Labor Officials. Locally, I've also volunteered at Dancin' in the Streets and for the Donna Run. Please provide a brief explanation of your interest and your reasons for wishing to be appointed to this board/committee. While I have only lived in Atlantic Beach since 2015, I have been visiting since 1987. My friends parents used to own a home on 3rd street, which is now owned by my good friend and I purchased the home next door. I've seen a lot of changes in the town, and, in fact, have made changes to my home and had dealings with the Community Development Board when doing so. I believe we live in the most beautiful, peaceful and caring community and want to help keep it that way. While progress is good and growth is inevitable, consideration must be given to the impact on the community, the land and the eco- systems we are entrusted to protect. Overbuilding can impact water, drainage, roads and services, to name a few. Rules and regulations should be reviewed periodically, but also need to be enforced. It's a fine balance between growth and preservation. I am retiring in 2021 and would love to devote time to Atlantic Beach, my chosen home.
