This is one of the most important issues the county is facing and I bring experience and a perspective as a resident, someone who has worked for and with small business, and now as an employee of the county s largest employer. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: It is important for the University to be a part of the county s economic development efforts and I can serve a particularly valuable role to help county staff and volunteers connect with different people across the University. Again, this is one of the most important issues for the county. Conflict of Interest: 5
