Dear Bozeman Commissioners
I am writing in support of Emma Bode for the appointment to the open commission
position. It has been noted by you during the last process that you all want to bring on
commissioners that equitably represent the community, noting that there was some
discomfort around four of the five commissioners being men after the last appointment
process. You all now have the opportunity to alleviate that discomfort and bring on Emma.
Emma also fills other critical voices left vacant by Christpher Coburn’s departure, namely
being a renter and a member of the queer community.
Beyond just being a person suited to be the voice more marginalized groups, Emma
solidifies her position as the clear choice for being appointed by being an excellent leader in
our community. Most notably, Emma has served Bozeman as the Chair of the
Sustainability Advisory board for two and a half years. This familiarity with Bozeman’s
government and process would give her the ability to step into this role with ease.
