I so enjoyed serving as a member of one of the City's Boards and Commissions for 8 years and after being termed out in 2005, I have missed that interaction. During that time I felt the Arts Commission really grew in stature and visibility and I was particularly pleased with the support from the City Council as our programs expanded. I feel that as volunteers, we are ambassadors for the City and form a valuable outreach to other citizens. I think I would add to the already impressive list ofEQAC members and would be honored to be included on that list I have good organizational and communication skills and would enjoy working once again on a City Board .
