To Whom It May Concern,
I am thrilled to be writing this letter in support of Emma Bode for the vacant position on the
Bozeman City Commission.
Emma Bode is a powerful community organizer, a champion of the people and the planet, anda community member deeply dedicated to showing up and making a difference. Be it through
her volunteer work with Sunrise Gallatin Valley, her leadership as the Chair of the BozemanSustainability Advisory Board, or her organizing clothing swaps and skill shares in her spare
time, Emma has proven herself time and time again as a leader and an incredible asset to theBozeman community.
As a nonprofit worker, a renter, a community organizer, and a queer person, Emma shares the
lived experiences, values, and priorities of many Bozemanites - including those whose voicesand experiences are often marginalized. Emma would bring a valuable perspective to the
Commission that is very much needed to build a better Bozeman for all.
I am fortunate enough to call Emma a friend. Emma shows up for the Bozeman communitythe same way she does her friends - with enthusiasm, compassion, intentionality, and so much
care. I can think of no better person to fill this role.
Thank you for your consideration,Lauren Lederman
Lauren Lederman
