Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I currently serve on the Board of Library Trustees, and the experience has been invigorating to say the least.

RICHARD VINCENT RUPP
RESUME

Richard V. Rupp retired from a successful career in the insurance and risk management industries in 2010. Following his retirement, he successfully tried his hand at writing crime novels.

Prior to writing crime fiction, Dick was an internationally recognized lecturer, writer, and published author on the subjects of insurance and risk management. He was born in Santa Monica, California, and grew up in a Hollywood movie industry family. He served in the Army Reserve, where he was assigned to the Army Finance Corp. His business career led him to the commercial insurance industry . H e became an executive specializing in developing new insurance products and risk financing concepts. His forte was research, writing, and designing risk management and risk funding products used by major corporations. His positions allowed him to travel the world, including frequent trips to London, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.

During his thirteen years with Marsh & McLennan, his colleagues dubbed him the “professor” as he was the Los Angeles office’s representative with a Marsh unit based in New York that developed many of the risk management concepts currently in use today.

He established the first captive insurance company out of the Los Angeles Office of Marsh for HMO Internation, which later became CIGNA Health Plans. He also developed that offices first construction Wrap-Up programs for new buildings being constructed by United California Bank, Cedars Sinai Hospital, Sunkist Growers and other projects for the C.L.

Peck Construction Company. He served on three Marsh special task forces that sought to resolve such problems as lack of industry capacity and the medical malpractice and products liability crises.

Dick was involved in forming captive insurance companies for leading California firms such as Fleetwood Enterprises, Sambo’s Restaurants, and an auto warranty captive for Kelly Blue Book, including President Ronald Regan and his Kitchen Cabinet (Holmes Tuttle, Buster Kelly, Charles Cook) as shareholders.

At California Casualty Management Company, Dick developed one of the first Employment Practices Liability Insurance programs jointly marketed through the California employers Group and the California Manufacturers Association.

Dick is the author of adult -oriented FBI Special Agent Har tmann crime novels. In the series Death & Taxes, his first novel received excellent reviews and won the Independent Book Publishers Association Benjamin Franklin Silver Award for Best New Voice in Fiction. His second novel, Death on the High Seas, has received excellent reviews.

Dick is now working on a SciFi genre manuscript titled Skyward.

Dick lives in Burbank, California.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? Growing up in small town Georgia the library was a place that felt welcome to all and was a safe space for someone who often felt out of place. The library and the people there helped me to become a life long learner who was curious and empathetic to others. It was such a vital part of my growth and I want to do everything I can to help support our libraries for our incredible Burbank community.

Board of Library Trustees
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.

It has been a great privilege these past 4 years as a Library Trustee. After having volunteered at the Central branch I was thrilled with the opportunity to join the board and get to become even more of an advocate for the Burbank libraries. With my background working in Film/TV I was able to help with the opening of Spark Lab and consult on programs and equipment that may be needed and wanted for that space, as well as recruit industry professionals for many of the library focus groups.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I'd love to continue working with the library in getting the word out to our community about all the programs and services they have to offer. The advocacy work we've been doing for a new modern central library isn't done yet and I'd love to continue helping to bring that to fruition. I hope to be an even better board member during this term knowing a bit more about what my duties and responsibilities are and bringing what I can to the team.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.

In the earlier part of this application, I have expressed how my education, a professional life in teaching English and Writing at an adult level and my personal work in Theater, where I learned to work with others and to help people to express themselves, as well as my experience in writing a memoir ... all add up to a person suited to serving others in library work.

May I mention that a teacher is taught by their students; I like to be challenged, to give something back to others.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? Serving on
Library Commission/Committee, I would want to expand the library's outreach to communities which are lacking in either knowledge of what a library has to offer, or those who may need encouragement to use the library.

In short, I'd like yo help library management in whatever its goals are.

The Senior Commission/Committee ... well, I do belong with that community.

Let's just say, I remember
Harry Truman.

His first term!
I have the same goal that I have for any Burbank volunteer work: to use myself in service.

I'd like to offer to others my personal ideal for this phase of life -- each day is a gift and often we have to learn how to use and how to enjoy that gift.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position I have an actual resume of my teaching career ... somehow I can't seem to find the digital copy of it.

It lists
how I started teaching in Community College as far back as 1978, all the places I taught at and the varieties of subjects in English (mostly Writing) and Theater, acting and directing.

If I am able to redo the
resume, I will send it or bring it in, if and/or when I am interviewed.

I love the library and all it stands for. I know I could contribute to my community by serving on the the Board of Library Trustees. Since I have a long history with all 3 libraries, my understanding of the library issues would be valuable. I have seen how the library impacts people of all ages in a positive way. I would like to continue helping the library by being on the Board.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I've always been interested in public service--I take Shirley Chisholm's quote to heart: "Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth." I was born and raised in Burbank, and I grew up in Burbank Public Libraries. I have strong memories of reading outdoors during the summer as a child at the Northwest Branch, participating in cool science programs at the Central Branch, and waiting excitedly to enter the brand-new Buena Vista Branch. Libraries are one of the greatest tools for encouraging education for all ages. I think my passion for Burbank and its libraries, coupled with my previous experience of serving as an elected City Council member and Library Trustee in a town in VT (where I lived prior to moving back to Burbank to care for my elderly grandmother), would make me a perfect fit to serve in this role.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.

I have served on a library board before (when I lived in Barre, VT) and have also served as an elected City Council member (also in Barre, VT), so I am very familiar with public bodies and how they need to operate within the law. I also think the most important experience I would bring is life experience--I would be able to communicate how Burbank's libraries impacted me both as a child and an adult. I would bring perspective about how library services help our community in the present and future.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I want to ensure that children continue to have the same opportunities that I had as a child growing up with Burbank's libraries. I also want to find more ways to communicate the concrete ways that adults (including non-regular readers) can get use out of their library memberships. There are so many exciting things that happen at Burbank's libraries, and I feel like not enough people know about them! I would like to do my part to make sure the library is used by as many people across as many generations as possible.

Second Choice
SECOND choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Heritage Commission
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position I studied American Studies in college, which gave me a solid grasp on the concept of significance for people, places and things--rooted in both historical value as well as cultural impact. I've also served on several non-profit and public government boards.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? As someone who grew up in Burbank, and whose parents also grew up in Burbank, places and things that made Burbank a significant place are important to me. I'd be interested in finding ways for Burbank to share its historical and cultural roots. While Burbank may look like a very different community today when compared to when my grandparents moved here in the 1960's, I feel that it's still important to find ways to honor the history of a place, as well as the people who came before us.

Interests & Experiences
Please tell us about yourself and why you want to serve.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? Serving on the Board of Library Trustees has been one of the most challenging, fulfilling and meaningful experiences I've had as a Burbank resident. Being able to support our phenomenal libraries as they rose to meet the many challenges COVID presented was truly an honor, and it helped me grow as a community member and educator. I would like to continue supporting these amazing places that helped support us through truly difficult times. One of our main areas of focus has been advocacy surrounding the building of a new central library. I am passionate about this project and would love the opportunity to help continue to move it forward. I am so thankful to the Councilmembers who allowed me to serve on the Board of Trustees and am hopeful they'll see fit to allow me to serve another term. I believe my continued work in the community and commitment to supporting our public libraries make me a positive contribution to the Board of Trustees and I am hopeful I'll be able to continue.

First Choice
FIRST choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:

Library Board of Trustees
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position. - During my tenure with the educational nonprofit Facing History and Ourselves, I served as the technology liaison for the education team of which I was a part. That role included helping team members, and the teachers with whom we worked, develop digital literacy skills. - Additionally, a large component of
my job as Program Associate was to help the schools, teachers and administrators with whom we worked learn about the many resources available to them, and the ways in which those resources could deepen the work they were doing in their schools and classrooms. - Extensive experience with metrics, data
collection, measuring impact and reach, survey creation and implementation - My work as a member of the Burbank Unified School District Board of Education has given me vital insight into the needs of our students and families as they relate to our libraries. It has allowed me to engage in a more informed way as a Trustee on the Library Board.

What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? Over the past four years, one of our main areas of focus on the Board of Library Trustees has been advocacy surrounding the building of a new central library. I am passionate about this project and would love the opportunity to help continue to move it forward.

I also continue to be inspired by the foresight and
vision of Library Services Director Elizabeth Goldman and would like to continue to find ways to actively support her strategic plan in myriad areas.

As I wrote on my first application, I remain extremely interested in digital and technology literacy, and entrepreneurship and workplace development; two areas that go hand in hand. Helping community members see the library as a place to develop new skills is a goal I am excited to pursue. Be it learning how to craft a resume, sign up for an email account, or pick up a book that opens their eyes to a new point of view, working with the Board to help patrons explore these many possibilities is an exciting challenge. Especially in light of the damage done due to COVID, these services have never been more important.

Our libraries offer so much, well beyond the amazing books that line their shelves. It would be a privilege to be continue serving as part of a Board dedicated to helping those many resources reach our Burbank community.
