Also assist <br /> GED students. Previously volunteered at Orange Correctional Center where I established <br /> a computer literacy curriculum and outfitted a 20 seat computer laboratory.

I have a BS in Economics a BA in Accounting and an MBA degree. My last <br /> 14 years was spent in Municipal Government as a Director Of Information Services for the town <br /> of South Windsor Connecticut. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> As a citizen of Orange County that resides in an area with marginal telecommunication service <br /> options, I think I can utilize my experience in soliciting bids, selecting appropriate options, and <br /> managing the implementation of fiber optic and broadband solutions to benefit the citizens of the <br /> county. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> With over a decade in the successful development and implementation of several Information <br /> Systems within a Municipal environment I feel that I would add a practical balance of real world <br /> experience and optimism to the group. Plus I have a deep appreciation for the positive impact of <br /> Technology on the citizens to be affected by this project and it s outcomes. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br />
