I am writing in support of Lauren Hill for Bozeman’s open Commissioner seat.
Lauren engages in a high level of professional and community work while maintaining a
genuine warmth and presence that inspires collaboration. She is both flexible and strong in
her formulation of community solutions. She communicates what she believes while
simultaneously and frequently listening to the ideas of others, then readily incorporates
those new insights into actionable steps.
Lauren’s long career as a biostatistician can benefit the Commission by amplifying the
team's ability to collect, analyze, and use data to inform decisions and provide logical
reasoning for new action. Her data expertise has already helped improve medical care for
many veterans, children, and families.
Lauren's care for the families in our community is also apparent in her volunteer work for
CASA/GAL of Gallatin County where she advocates for children within our court system, in
an effort to keep families together and ensure safe, healthy homes for the children she
serves.
Personally, I know Lauren as a humble, energetic, loving mom and partner, and a
supportive, inspiring friend and athlete. Like so many in our community, Lauren works hard
each day while looking ahead to create a safe, healthy, connected community and
environment that we can all enjoy together.
Our family is very grateful for the Commission’s work and I believe Lauren has the capacity
and motivation to contribute a great deal to your team and perform this role extremely well.
Sincerely,
Mary Beddoe
Bozeman resident
