Please state your reason for applying, including qualifications for this position:
I have experience serving on various Boards and Committees in Contra Costa County and in the City of Concord. I like to make a difference and give back to our Community through my experiences and passion. I think I will be fit in this position because I know about our city's demographic, and have worked with many of the on several occasions through my business and work experience through the city.
Question applies to multiple boards
Considering your experience and activities in business, labor, professional, social, or other organizations, indicate the experience, technical training, and/or skills which qualify you for an appointment on each desired board or commission:
I am qualified for Planning Commission because I have the short-term and long-term planning experience through my personal businesses, and have carried out these plans successfully through my drive and vision. For example, in the Economic Opportunity Council mentioned above, 88% of the CSBG funding we receive is supposed to go to the community below the poverty line, which was not actually happening before I became chairperson of the council. I worked with the staff and the board to make a positive change and plan to give as much money as possible to the deserving people. As the result of this, in the 2018-2019 year, we have gone from 14% (before my chairmanship) to 76% under my leadership, which is one of the biggest achievements done by anyone in the Council's history (which started in 1964).

Interests and Experience
Question applies to multiple boards
Please state your reason for applying, including qualifications for this position:
As a resident to Concord I feel it is important to get involved with the development of the community. My husband and I chose to live in Concord for one specific reason, affordability. Once we began to immerse ourselves in the community we discovered that there is so much more to living here than just economics.
We discovered the vast amounts of outdoor space, convenient shopping, restaurants representing foods from around the globe and so many community events and activities. We plan to be lifelong Concord residents so the development and progress of how the city continues to take shape matters to us. My husband and I have have owned a real estate appraisal company for 19 years and in that time have come to truly understand why people live where they live and what makes a community a community. We have worked with young people just starting out in adulthood make life decisions as well as the helped the elderly understand their options and resources to aid them within their community. Home and community are at the core of our business because security within these areas of life are what matters most to many people. My opinion of Concord is that it is a city where people can thrive and grow and I plan to be a part of, encourage, and benefit from that growth.

As a working real estate agent in the community, I have a unique opportunity to hear from existing residents and prospective future residents what they are looking for in a community. All aspects of my career and charitable work require me to listen effectively, communicate clearly and collaborate without ego for the purpose of uncovering the best solutions for the betterment of people, members or organizations. My training from the Pepperdine Davenport Institute and Center for California Real Estate Leadership in Government workshop series allowed me to learn more about local government structure and identify which issues typically fall under city, local, or state jurisdiction. I have had the opportunity to meet with sitting Senators, former US Attorney Generals and local leaders which has allowed me to understand the gravity of issues affecting our local community and their impact on a national level. I have participated with my local real estate association's strategic planning committee and I am currently the chair for the strategic planning committee for a cancer charity organization and those positions require me to think forward to help create and implement strategies that support and promote current and future success.

Question applies to multiple boards
Considering your experience and activities in business, labor, professional, social, or other organizations, indicate the experience, technical training, and/or skills which qualify you for an appointment on each desired board or commission:
Having worked for a small, local developer for over 20 years, I have experience from the developer side in navigating general plans, zoning, variances, density limits and bonuses, design review, inclusionary requirements and in-lieu fees, the EIR process and appeals, traffic studies, public art, community relations and public hearings, utility coordination, builders' fees, staff reports, and conditions of approval - in other words, all of the ways in which the activities of developers intersect with jurisdictional authorities. I am also familiar with the many challenges developers face making projects "pencil" which are often unrelated to governmental requirements - construction costs, the availability of financing, and the marketability of the built product. That does not mean, however, that I would be a "developer-friendly" Planning Commissioner. Rather, sustainable growth requires that builders and cities work together to align their goals for the benefit of the community.
