Have you ever served on a City or County Board? Yes, 2 years on this same Cijy of Bozeman board
2007 and 2008
Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests,and experiences. I'm over 65 years of age. I served
6 years on the Bozeman Senior Center Board of Directors. I served 2 tenns on the National Board of the
American Statistical Association. I am currently an advisor to the Belgrade Senior Center finance
committee.
In past years I served on numerous local boards or helped with organizing,the Nordic Ski Team,the
Bozeman Swim Team, Campfire Girls, a citizens group dedicated to limiting the size of Kagy Blvd, a
citizens group to promote the development of the Christie baseball fields,the Bozeman Creek
Neighborhood Association, and the Bozeman Antique Auto Club.
I am especially interested in further fostering the concept of: "Bozeman the Most Senior Friendly City in
Montana". This is in many ways already a very valid statement. There are also many ways to improve
the local "environment"for senior citizens, including more attention to dedicated parking locations
throughout the business areas, addition of park land improvements that are more suitable to senior uses,
and consideration of better use of senior citizen capabilities in volunteer roles of all kinds.
