Yes
How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area?
11 years or more
* Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission?
Yes
Where, how long, and what Board?
RPAB ~ 2yrs and UPF ~2 yrs
* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I've served as UPF Chair for the past two years. Under my leadership, the UPF was asked to recommend the PRAT Plan. Broad in scope and intended to guide the Parks
Department for the next ten years, the draft required many review hours and special meetings' worth of amendments. We ultimately helped craft the plan we
recommended to the Commission. With two years under our belts, the UPF is ready to make more contributions but we have too many vacancies. I want to help the UPF
remain viable.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
The PRAT Plan was, in large part, guided by DEI principles to ensure equitable access and foster belonging for everyone in our community. Personally, I believe DEI grows
from getting to know people outside of our bubbles. I am currently on extended travel in Mexico with my son to help expose him to another culture and get to know our
neighbors south of the border as people and fellow citizens of the world.
