Community Development Board (CDB) Application - Sondra Goldschmidt - Pdf401011111111!0101 . BC App -23-08 City of Atlantic Beach BOARD/COMMISSION APPLICATION Date Submitted: December 9, 2023 First Choice: Community Development Board (CDB) Second Choice: Arts, Recreation, and Culture Committee (ARCC) Name: Sondra Goldschmidt Address: 135 Pine Street, Atlantic Beach, FL, 32233 Cell Phone: 4849193040 Email Address: sgoldschmidt2@gmail.com District: District 1306 Please describe any employment experience relative to the board/committee you are applying for. At Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Vision, I am the Chair for our Commercial Contracting and Pricing Committee (CPC). For over two years I have led the CPC for our US team, actively partnering with senior leaders of the organization. The CPC experience is relative to the Community Development Board as both require in-depth analysis of the proposals submitted, open discussion of proposals, and decision-making skills. Both boards have a large scope and impact and are highly important to their industry (CPC- US Contact Lens Industry, CDB- Atlantic Beach). In addition, both boards require an open mind, active listening skills, and leadership skills to support the decisions made, and their impact. Please describe any board/committee experience relative to the board/committee you are applying for. Please see answer above for specific board/committee leadership experience. In addition, I lead our US Vision culture team, impacting over 250 employees. Lastly, I was nominated as our MBA class representative for the program's graduating class of 2023. Please describe any community involvement or volunteer experience relative to the board/committee you are applying for. Atlantic Beach hosts multiple community events throughout the year, which I actively try to participate in. In addition, I have attending multiple CDB meetings, and reviewed our Code of Ordinances in my spare time when curious about which projects would be approved vs. not approved. Though I would certainly spend more time studying the code if selected to join the board! Lastly, I partnered with a few members of the Atlantic Beach community as well as coworkers to plan a gala for Operation Smile. Though the gala project was stopped due to funding, the skills developed to plan a large-scale charity event with local community members were very beneficial. Through the process I was able to learn more about leading charity events, managing volunteers' time, and partnering with the local community. Please provide a brief explanation of your interest and your reasons for wishing to be appointed to this board/committee. Atlantic Beach is a beautiful city that continues to grow and bring in new residents. While continuing to protect the beauty of the city by regulating developments and changes to property, it is also important to continuously adapt to change. As a younger resident who has been to multiple Community Development Board meetings, I noted we lack the perspective of Atlantic Beach's younger residents in our decision-making entities. We need more involvement in our community boards and decision makers who reflect the changing population of residents. My goal is to bring a fresh perspective to the board, as well as encourage more community members to become actively involved. We must protect and respect our cities' core values, while also expanding our horizons to the future state of the city.
