I believe there are circumstances where unwritten rules of conduct are sufficient, but there are other circumstances where written codes of conduct can help guide people to determine what is the right thing to do and encourage best behavior. I have been a public employee, and took seriously my responsibility to uphold the public’s trust, a part of which is willingness and ability to be honest, transparent, accountable, and competent. I believe these are essential qualities in public employees and officials, who are the embodiment of "government." These qualities allow the governed to maintain confidence and trust in government and its actions. This is my 20th year living in Bozeman, and I am proud to call it my home. I enjoy giving back to my community through an issue that I believe is essential to the health and vibrancy of a community. I have served on the Board of Ethics since it’s inception. We have made great progress toward the goals outlined in the Charter and Code of Ethics, but there is more work to do and I would love to be a part of doing it. I have a deep interest in ethics, and I am thoughtful, deliberative, and curious. I am committed to the work of the BOE and wholeheartedly welcome the opportunity to continue on the BOE Reference 1: Paula Beswick 406-600-1814 pkbeswick@msn.com Are you willing to comply with all ethics training requirements?: yes Reference 2: Jim Madden 406-599-0293 me@jim-madden.org How did you hear about us?: I am a current member of the board and am aware of my term's expiration and subsequent vacancy.
