Link to Precinct Finder Email Address sditamore@gmail.com Please explain any employment experience, board/committee experience, and/or community volunteer experience relative to the board/committee applying for. My current role as an active-duty naval officer and as a patrol and reconnaissance pilot and mission commander gives me a wealth of experience managing people, maintaining unit cohesion, and resolving rapidly developing situations. Additionally, I have previously served as a member of an Aviation Mishap Board, and served as the chair of both an Aviation Safety Council as well as an Ordnance Qualification Board for a major Naval installation. While these positions may not relate directly to the civil government board or committees I 2 am applying for, I am confident that the cooperation, leadership, initiative, and experience gained from my positions in the Naval service can readily translate into usefulness for the COAB. Please provide a brief explanation of your interest and your reasons for wishing to be appointed to this board/committee. While my family and I have only moved to Atlantic Beach relatively recently, we have quickly fallen in love with our gorgeous little community. I hope to now take a more active role in guiding and protecting the COAB in some small way so that it may remain as beautiful and vibrant in the future for the sake of our son, and all of the children in the community, who hope to call it home for many years to come! As I prepare to retire from the Navy and transition to civilian life, I finally feel as though I may be able to take this small initial step in community governance rather than being among the many who just sit passively by and hope that sound minds are making the best decisions for the betterment of our city. I have lived a life of service for 20 years on behalf of our great nation; I now hope to put some of that experience to use for my local community. I look forward to becoming part of the COAB team and serving at the pleasure of all of the people of Atlantic Beach! Thank you for your consideration.
