Candidate Statement:
It is incumbent for us to take a personal stake in our community. I am currently a board member on my neighborhood HOA (serving for approximately twelve years) and interested not only in issues that affect my neighborhood, but also issues that affect the entire community. The area is growing, and I would like to help share the growth and make an impact. I have a sound education and experience in finance and business, including experience in a cooperative generation and transmission utility, coupled with a desire to help the community and believe I can bring those skills to the board. Additionally, I am interested in learning more about the NineStar Connect system and how innovative technology in the various utility segments can be leveraged to benefit all the members. I believe my experience and education, makes me a qualified candidate for NineStar Connect.
