Nominee’s Statement in Favor of Their Candidacy: I would welcome the opportunity to be part of the Standing Committee. Much of my personal and professional experience has been as a collaborator, strategic thinker and thought partner in both corporate and nonprofit settings, often dealing with complex and highly sensitive subjects and situations. I believe that among my strengths are building relationships, cultivating consensus and identifying solutions. As I approach retirement at the end of this year, I hope to draw upon these same skillsets in service to my faith community.
