How will your qualifications best serve the citizen advisory group that you are applying for, and why do you wish to serve on this group?*
Boating, leadership and involvement in the local community are the mainstays of my life.
I have lived in Huntington Beach for 45 years, and have always cared and been motivated to make things better in our community.
After being on the Harbour Commission for two years, I know what excellent work we strive to do! The Commission brings various entities together to support and improve the quality of our local environment & waters.
My goal would be to advocate for various agencies and non-profits to get involved and work together -- to support and enhance the natural beauty of our local bay, Harbour and beaches.
I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the duties and responsibilities of the particular position that I am applying for and authorize the release of this information.
