Raube, Ed CDB & CEB & Any, & Resume & Ranking 10-2004
Edward J. Raube Sea Place 79 901 Ocean Blvd Atlantic Beach, Fl 32233 904 246 7979 eraube@yahoo.com SUMMARY OF QUALIICATIONS Having been a resident and home owner in Atlantic Beach, since
1985, I feel that my knowledge and personal experience can only be a help to the community growth of Atlantic Beach. Having been born and raised in Philadelphia Pa, I soon traveled the
world when I joined the military. That military experience quickly gave me substantial responsibility. I provided security for nuclear-armed aircraft for the Strategic Air Command division
of the U.S. Air Force, before going to Viet Nam, where I engaged in combat with enemies of the United States of America and earned nine decorations, including the Vietnamese Medal of
Honor and the Air Force Commendation medal. My military experience set the groundwork for developing values of discipline and personal responsibility that have guided my life. Following
my military service, I resumed my education and within three years worked my way through and and completed my Bachelor of Science in Communications degree at Temple University in Philadelphia.
I then began a successful 25 year career in broadcasting, on, and off the air with marketing and advertising agency experience, coupled with sales, rounding out my experiences of working
with and dealing with people and helping them solve their needs. Having turned my attention now to Atlantic Beach, I have gotten involved with my community. In the Sea Place Condominium
community, where I live, I was elected to the board of Directors, where we as a team have planned major renovations. Our plan was sound enough to gain bank financing and the renovations
were completed on time and on budget. The loan was repaid ahead of schedule, saving on interest cost and property values were boosted substantially. Currently I serve as the Vice President
of the board
I also in 2003 ran an election campaign for an Atlantic Beach City Commissioners seat, where I learned even more about my community and its citizens needs. While going door to door,
attending many community events and speaking before many different community groups, I gained the experience and learned first hand, the feel of the community and the people who live
and work here. My on going community involvement has included volunteering and working with the Players Championship, the American Diabetes Association, the Susan B Komen Breast Cancer
Fund, the Beaches Chamber of Commerce, the Membership committee and the Welcome committee of the University Club, and serving the Republican Club of the Beaches as its Vice President.
I look forward to any opportunity that the community of Atlantic Beach will offer to me to serve our community, in helping protect the character of our community and the quality of life
in Atlantic Beach.
