Hi folks!
I wanted to write to you to submit a comment in favor of Chris Coburn for City
Commission. My name is Nick Johnson and I am a first year medical student with the
WWAMI program and graduate of MSU. I have had the honor of being able to
collaboratively work with Chris for two years (from 2018 to early 2020) in the
development and implementation of the UnProcessed Pantry Project (UP3), acommunity based research project with the MSU Food and Health Lab that worked to
provide healthy, unprocessed foods and nutrition education to people who use the
local food bank. As a community partner and representative of Bozeman Health,
Chris was a vital part of the UP3 research, helping to connect researchers withresources from Bozeman Health and promoting the project within his organization.
I think that Chris would be an excellent addition to the City Commission particularly
because of his passion for community health improvement. Having him on the
Commission would benefit the health and wellness of Bozeman and Gallatin Countybecause he has so much valuable experiences in these areas.
Thank you for your time!
