Applicant Information * Full Name Nathan Stein * Residential Address 2220 Remington Way Unit 213 Bozeman MT 59718 * Primary Phone (847) 420-6800 * Current Occupation Executive Director * Employer Headwaters Community Housing Trust * Email nathanandrewstein@gmail.com Which position are you applying for? Economic Vitality Board Do you live in City Limits? (Some positions do require you live within Bozeman city limits, while others do not.) Yes How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area? 1-5 years * Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission? No Where, how long, and what Board? **SKIPPED** * Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board. As a young professional, a renter, and the Executive Director of an organization deeply invested in the future of this community, specifically at the intersection of housing and economic opportunity. I am eager to learn, engage with, and support the City's efforts to build a Bozeman where everyone can thrive. We need to be learning from, partnering with, and mobilizing our business community towards solutions to the challenges we're facing, and I'd love the opportunity to be a part of that work. * The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. DEIJ work has been a deeply rewarding growth area for me over the last years. A big part of my worldview is informed by the fact that I am incredibly privileged in many ways, and I think I have a responsibility to use my position to make things better for other people. When thinking about economic development, it's vital to understand structural and historic inequities, strive to correct them, and ensure that prosperity is shared with BIPOC communities that have too often been excluded.
