I have over 30 years business experience (E&Y, Lockheed Martin, Powerhouse Technologies, RightNow Technologies, YGP) in a variety of executive positions. I have degrees in Political Science and Business Accounting from MSU and have lived in the Bozeman area for the last 28 years. I currently serve on the boards of DADavidson, PFL, Foundant, Quiq, onX, EarlyStage Montana, MSU Innovation Campus, ACLU Philanthropy Council and Hatch. I care passionately about proactively managing Bozeman's growth to ensure it is a great place to make a living and a life. The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. Virtually every company I am associated with is developing their DEI programs and it is part of board discussions. I have personally educated myself by reading the 2017 Global D&I Benchmark report so that I could effectively participate in a variety of assessments and discussions and action plans at the companies I work with. On a personal level, as one of the only female on many of the boards I have served on, I have spoken with many of the DREI groups or women's groups on the topic and have seen it as my role to advocate for those values.
