(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: There are three qualifications and sets of experiences that I believe would commend my application for consideration to become a member of the Library’s Board of Trustees. • Familiarity with the library’s practices and programs. Since October, 2012, I have worked in different volunteer capacities in the Technical Services department performing the functions of gift book intake processing, special circulating collections development, and map curation. Additionally, I served on the Board of the Friends of the Library from 2016 through January, 2019, the last year as president. • Education and teaching experience in the fields of library services and business management. I earned my doctorate in library and information science from Rutgers University (2007), a master of business administration from the University of Massachusetts (1976), and a master of library service from Rutgers University (1970). I taught undergraduate and masters-level courses at Rutgers in the fields of informatics and library science (2004 – 2012). • Management experience in information technology. I worked for twenty-eight years for Pratt and Whitney Aircraft and then Lucent Technologies, a spin-off from AT&T, in the field of information technology in positions of increasing responsibility culminating in my position as Information Technology Director in the Microelectronics division. 449 In relation to the opening on the Library’s Board of Trustees, my interest lies in supporting the Library’s various service and outreach programs to ensure continued fulfillment of its mission to the community.

Is there any other information that you feel we need to know? There are several other factors that might bear on my consideration: • Service to the Bozeman community. I have participated in the Child Assistance Program (CAP) for the Thrive organization mentoring the same person since he was in third grade (Oct., 2012 – present although the program is currently on COVID-19 hold pending decisions about the upcoming school year). • Veteran with active duty service in the Army (Apr., 1970 – May, 1972). • Eagle Scout (1962).
