Why are you interested in serving on this Board, Commission, or Committee? I am a new resident of Emeryville and feel inspired by all the progress that has been made over the last 10 years in making Emeryville a safe and walkable place to live and work. There have been remarkable accomplishments but there is still a lot of work to be done. I want to volunteer to continue the work and provide a point of view from someone who plans to live here for the long haul and raise a family.
I want to work in a collaborative way with residents, business owners, and visitors to make sure that we can continue to set the example for our region of what a great place to live looks like.
