(○) 1-5 years Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission? (○) No Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board. I have been interested in the focus areas of the Economic Development Vitality Board since the 1970s. As an undergraduate I worked with the President of the Sierra Club on such concerns as Roadless Area Review (RARE II) and legislative policy regarding economic development in New Mexico. I pursued this interest in graduate school, obtaining my masters degree in Urban Policy Affairs and Policy Analysis (New School for Social Research, NY 1984.) During that time I developed a community housing development plan for low to moderate income families in New York City for the 14Th Street Local Development Commission. In my professional career I served for 27 years as a Senior Associate Dean (CFO) for New York Medical College, University Vice Provost, and University Vice President for Strategic Planning. Among my accomplishments and duties were managing the university's risk management program, resolving conflicts that arose between the university and external governmental and non-governmental parties, developing economic impact assessments of the university's educational and research activities within New York State, and design and funding of the university’s first comprehensive scholarship program that supported the matriculation of underrepresented minorities and generalist physicians. The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. Historically, minorities have been underrepresented in medicine in the United States. As noted above, my professional activity included design and funding of a comprehensive scholarship program that supported the matriculation of underrepresented minorities. In addition, my doctoral research examined the history of efforts to address this issue including the narrow successes and broader failures of public initiatives in this regard. My research also dealt with issues of gender and economic biases that lead to lack of equity in obtaining the residencies that are necessary to establish a practice in medicine in the United States.
