Alison Sweeney has indicated she is interested in filling the vacant commissioner position. While I do not know her
personally, I admire her loyalty and dedication to Bozeman as evidenced by her many thoughtful posts about
protecting the feel and culture of the Bozeman community. As a lifelong resident, she identifies closely with
residents who treasure the sense of community that makes Bozeman quite unique.
As a recovering entrepreneur, I have learned over many years to value critical thinking skills of my best team
members. Alison demonstrates her determination to help protect her community from unnecessary degradation by
collecting relevant information from diverse sources and communicating her thoughts and critical analysis to others
that value her judgement. She’s the kind of person that would add value to the commission and truly represent her
constituents.
Alison, I believe, would be a strong and willing contributor to the Commission. I encourage you to appoint her to
this vital job. The rapid growth of Bozeman demands commissioners with energy, critical thinking skills, the ability
to work with other members while focusing on agreed goals. Alison is ready and willing to contribute her
impressive skills.
Please consider appointing her to fill the vacant position.
