Please explain any

experience, and/or

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.
PLEASE NOTE: This application will expire two (2) years from the date of submittal.
