Please return completed form to Donna L.Bussey,City Clerk,800 Seminole Road,Atlantic Beach,FL 32233 1 July 1.2005 Application for a position on the Community Development Board,City of Atlantic Beach 1)My professional experience* as a successful teacher and advisor(counselor)afforded me ample and varied opportunities to work with people who had problems,needed guidance,and required the active participation of many others to solve their problems. I certainly understand that different people bring different perceptions and expectations to any discussion and situation. 2) My husband and I have owned several properties in Atlantic Beach. Working with the City whenever required,we upgraded and improved those properties. Except for our home,we sold all of those properties and are pleased to report that all of them are today attractive and flourishing. 3)In 1986,I started and operated a successful small business** in Atlantic Beach,an experience that remains with me still! I am very much aware of the impact a business has upon the community and how important it is to work within the community,both with neighbors and customers,and with the City government. 4)Recently,I spear-headed a successful neighborhood action to have the speed bumps on Plaza reinstalled,a development that has proved effective in restoring the residential ambience of one of Atlantic Beach's oldest neighborhoods. By clearly defining the goal and asking for their help,I think I effectively encouraged many residents to actively participate in the process. 5)My family moved to the Beaches area in 1954. I went to San Pablo Elementary School,the"old"Fletcher,now FMS, and the"new"Fletcher,FHS, graduating in 1967. My husband and I returned to Atlantic Beach,after college*** and living abroad in 1983.. There is much discussion today about the character of Old Atlantic Beach. I have seen many changes in Atlantic Beach since the days when much of it was"forest primeval"and nobody locked their doors. Now that I am retired from teaching,I would like to be able to share my experience and perspective to develop and preserve the vibrant,healthy,inclusive community that is Atlantic Beach today. I think I know how to listen,to distill and focus issues,and my goal is always to develop a"win-win''solution. I have a particular personal interest in the effect architecture and city planning have on quality of life issues,which is why I would like to serve on the Community Development Board of Atlantic Beach. -2- *Teaching experience: I was Administrative Assistant to the Headmaster of Ahlman Academy,Kabul,Afghanistan 1969-70. I taught kindergarten and elementary grades at The International School of Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia 1972-73,the Anglo- American School of Sofia,Bulgaria 1973-80,and the Dow(Chemical Company) School, Malinska,Yugoslavia(now Croatia) 1980-83. I taught mathematics at Mayport Middle School 1983-87. The last seventeen years of my teaching career were at The Bolles School,where I taught algebra and AP statistics and was a Grade 11 advisor. Variously and collectively at these schools,I actively participated outside the classroom in administrative decisions,community relations,and on academic committees. ** On the Boulevard was the first gourmet foods,wine,cheese,catering business at the Beach. I started the business in one of the units of the commercial building(now Radio Shack)that my husband and I renovated. I sold the business after one year,to Betty James. ***My AB degree.cum laude,in Psychology and Education is from Randolph- Macon Woman's College 1971,and I have an MAT degree,in mathematics,from Ai 1990.
