Contribution <br />I will take the time to understand the issues and come <br />prepared to make considered contributions to a debate. I <br />will bring my expertise and experience to the discussion <br />and resolution of issues in an open-minded manner. While <br />I may bring attention to specific point of views, my role will <br />be to express my own informed views. I will not take <br />advantage of the position to argue the case of a specific <br />group as the goal of the board/commission is to make the <br />best decision for the community as a whole. <br />Personal Interest <br />My interest stems from three experiences. The first was <br />watching my father volunteer his time as a member on <br />our local library board of trustees. I was inspired by his <br />service to the community and learned the value of taking <br />care of our community resources. The second was <br />through a course I took as part of my MBA coursework <br />that focused on the intersection of politics, public policy <br />and business management. I was fascinated by the idea <br />of businesses incorporating the perspective of public <br />service values in decision-making to include fairness and <br />respect for the individual, accountability and <br />transparency, efficiency and objectivity, and holding <br />public trust. The third experience was participating in the <br />Leadership Eugene-Springfield program where I was able <br />to broaden my knowledge of current topics important to <br />the needs and betterment of our community. The passion <br />exhibited by the presenters inspired me to become <br />involved in the stewardship of our community. <br />Page 26 of 27 <br />Interested Applicants <br />4/2/2018 9:34:12 AM <br />InterestedApplicants <br />October 22, 2018, Meeting – Item 4
