Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences. *: I was born, raised and educated
in MT, but spent 15 years in major US cities (and a small time living abroad). I have seen vast changes
come to my home state and I have seen what unplanned exponential growth can look like. I would like
to do my part in trying to keep our sweet special spot here, both sweet and special, while also trying to
address the issues of growth and change that we can have no control over. In my work life, I have
worked primarily in various avenues of the real-estate world and I believe my experience could be used
to help our Beautiful Bozeman stay that way. thank you for your consideration, Elise Strong
