Have you ever served on a City or County board? (Yes/No) No
(If so, where, what board, and how long?)
Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests, and experiences.
I've lived in Bozeman for the majority of the past 4 years, and I've enjoyed the recreational
opportunities around town. I'm interested in being able to offer feedback on how parks are
managed around the city, and to be involved in the community. I've also worked for the Bureau
of Land Management for the past two summers, and part of their goals are to manage recreation
on public lands, so I'd like to see how recreation is managed on a city level.
