Dear Bozeman City Commission:
I write today to strongly encourage you to appoint Mark Egge to Bozeman City Commission.
I've known Mark for about a decade, during which time we've spent countless hours running,biking, backpacking, boating, etc., and just about always discussing our mutual passion for
Bozeman and our desire to be a part of its successful and inclusive growth. I look up to Markas a great and selfless friend, leader, and someone upon whom I know I can always count.
Of particular import, Mark possesses unique skill sets that will serve Bozeman well. In his
professional life, Mark manages a team of data analysts and regularly works with seniorleadership in state transportation agencies to help achieve their strategic vision by informing
decision making with the data necessary for implementation. Mark is a data analyst himself,but it's his ability to manage a team of analysts - with strong leadership, intelligence,
equanimity, and collegiality - that improves the maturity and sophistication of statetransportation agencies' use of data in their policy outcomes. Mark's humility, transparency,
and experience will be salient to the future of Bozeman as the commission matures along withour growing city.
I neglect, of course, to mention Mark's innumerable hours of volunteerism on behalf of our
community, but I'd like to keep this brief. Please support Bozeman by appointing Mark Eggeas our newest City Commissioner.
Thank you for your continued service on behalf of a grateful community, and for your
consideration of this important decision,
