To the City Commission -
I wanted to put a good word in about Kirsten Smith. Kirsten has years of professional
experience in collaborative community change and policy work, as well as experienceworking within and in partnership with government organizations. She has extensive
relationships with local and regional nonprofit experts, government (state, county,municipalities), private sector partners, and all levels of our regional education systems.
Her experience is one thing, and her capacity for learning, being organized, listening to
dissenting or different ideas, and speaking with clarity would make her an effectivecommissioner. Kirsten has the bearing and diverse skill set that would lend itself to doing the
work of the people within the structure of city government. This is an intense job with highstakes. Kirsten has got what it takes. I believe that our community's diverse political and social
perspectives and community needs would be well served by Kirsten as City Commissioner.
Thank you,
Tanya AndreasenBozeman, MT
