\n1. We use email or our board website for most of our business. Will accessibility or technological ability be a problem for you?<\/div>\n
No, I believe my Mater’s Information Technology Concentration got me off to a good start.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Have you read and can you agree with the Bylaws as written? as well as our Board Member Responsibilities, Code of Ethics, and Job Descriptions?<\/div>\n
Yes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Why are you interested in serving on the board of Fairbanks Youth Advocates?<\/div>\n
Many years ago I worked as a youth worker while working at Covenant House in Anchorage within the Rights to Passage program I truly enjoyed being a coach and mentor to the young people helping them out with life skills. I would once again like to be involved and help young people and this time\u00a0within my Fairbanks community.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. What is your professional experience with leadership and\/or your accomplishments in business, government, philanthropy, or the nonprofit sector:<\/div>\n
Well, I have worked at the university level for several years teaching, college recruiting, and as a enrollment services specialist. I have been a small business counsellor for many years working for the SBDC and SCORE. I am retired US Air Force where I spent 22 years developing my management & leadership skills.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Briefly outline your volunteer service for other organizations:<\/div>\n
Once again, I have been a small business counselor working with small business start-ups and with those already in business offering my knowledge freely to all those in need.\u00a0 Financially, I aided several organizations that work to keep animals safe from cruelty. I have been\u00a0a faculty advisor for several years while working with both the Associate Students of Business and the College Entrepreneurial Organization. I aided in the past with the\u00a0project management of the Statewide Lemon Aid Day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. What are some specific skills and strengths that you can bring to the Board:<\/div>\n
I believe my professional skills in management backed by my mater’s in business organizational management and to include my many years working within the academics as a teacher, recruiter, and student advisor could be of some service.<\/div>\n
