Dear Bozeman City Commissioners,
My name is Mckeely Shannon, and I am writing to support the appointment of Emma Bode to
the Bozeman City Commission. I'm 26 years old, and was raised in Kalispell and Yaak. In2019 I graduated from MSU with a degree in Community Health. I have worked at Haven as a
Survivor Advocate, Forward Montana (FMT) as the High School Program Manager, andBridgercare as an Education Specialist. I've made Bozeman my home for the past 8 years, and
want to more people in the City Commission who represent the vast majority of youngBozeman folks. Having worked with Emma at FMT for 2 years from 2020-2022, she is
someone who shows up with great knowledge, the ability to build strong relationships, anddedication to making Bozeman welcoming, resilient, and forward thinking. If appointed, not
only would she bring the high level skills she has developed for a decade, but also the joy shehas for showing up in community for Bozeman. Please appoint her!
In community, McKeely Shannon
