I would like to facilitate more transparency within the community. 3. Be a smart caretaker of our tax money and make certain there is no outsourcing of our support staff. Why are you qualified to serve in this office? I am a very detail-oriented person. I have a strong background in planning and preparation. I understand policies and operations and how they are supposed to be implemented. I will bring an open-minded attitude to the board with fresh energy and challenge old assumptions.
