Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.: As a regular open space
and trail user in Bozeman, I have a strong sense of our community’s current assets and the areas
(neighborhoods, types of open space, trails opportunities, etc.) in which Bozeman is well-
endowed and in which our community is deficient. In addition, I bring fifteen years of
experience working professionally and as an involved citizen supporting the creation of open
space. This experience includes advocating for open space and trail protection; working to secure
and leverage public funds for land protection; and working with individuals, private foundations,
and public charities to fund trail and open space protection. Between 2006 and 2009 I was an
appointed member of the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 3 Citizen Advisory Committee. This
committee provided FWP with information, ideas, emerging trends and initiatives from the
public and provided a vehicle for FWP to inform key citizens. I have served on the boards of
directors of two nonprofits that are dedicated to making Bozeman a better place to live (Friends
of the Bozeman Public Library (2005-2011) and the Bozeman Area Community Foundation
(2011 to present)). Prior to living in Bozeman, I worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club – an
organization dedicated to creating, advocating for, and managing recreational opportunities in
the Northeastern U.S. I would be honored to bring my background and experience to serve the
Bozeman community as a member of the Trails, Open Space, and Parks Committee.
