1. Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body?
I would like to be involved with an organization that inspires the well being of our community.
2. Why do you want to be a member of the JUC and what do you hope to accomplish?
I like the concept of a "joint use" committee that represents the interests of all user groups and
advocates recreational opportunities for everyone. I am committed to an active and healthy
lifestyle and concerned about the limited resources for recreation and sports activities in our
community. I hope to contribute toward practical and successful resolutions of current
recreational issues.
3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the JUC or another City advisory body? What
observations did you make?
Over the past 10 years, I have attended City Council, Planning Commission and the
Department of Parks and Recreation meetings. I attended the initial planning sessions for
the Damon-Garcia property and goal-setting meetings for the City's budget plan. I feel that
our City officials show genuine concern and consider the opinions of the community when
making decisions that affect us. Recently, the City agreed to give top priority toward the
development of softball fields after a budget planning session.
4. What qualities, experience and expertise make you a good candidate for the JUC?
Please see attached sheet.
5. In your view,what are some key recreational use issues in SLO?
One issue is the lack of adequate sports fields in ourcommunity. Most everyone shares
concern for the welfare of our youth and recognizes that participation in organized sports in a
safe environment can be a very positive influence. SLO does not have quality places for
youth (or adults) to play because there have been no major new field development projects in
25 years while our population and participation in sports has grown exponentially. To
exacerbate this situation, SLO also lacks the resource_s for proper field maintenance.
Continued on next page
ATTACHMENT 2
Why has this situation evolved? Historically, there's been no unity or on-going coordination
among youth sports groups helping to organize, provide stability and to serve as an
advocate, building political muscle. The San Luis Obispo Youth Sports Association (SLO-
YSA) now exists to address these shortcomings. They are also the driving force behind
promoting the Damon-Garcia property as a future sports complex. I'm proud of my
involvement with the SLO-YSA, and will continue to be an advocate for this organization.
6. Is there any additional information about yourself you'd like to share? (Please feel free to
attach a resume,if you have one).
My background includes extensive management, student advising and public relations
experience. During my nine years at UCSB, I advanced to management positions in two of
the largest academic departments on campus. I worked closely with students and faculty to
develop policies and procedures, served on university task forces and co-authored and
produced departmental brochures and program literature. I attended seminars and have
given presentations to prospective students, parents, community members and colleagues at
other UC campuses. I also directed the advising and study programs of 1,400+ students
who participated in the University of California's Education Abroad Program.
Currently, I serve as the Theatre Operations Manager for the Performing Arts Center. This
position allows me to work with a diverse population and has proven to be a stimulating
challenge. I am involved in implementing policies and procedures for the Center and serve as
a resource for client groups, donors and constituents. I am actively involved in fund raising and
also promote the use of this facility.
Given my professional and volunteer-oriented background, I feel I would be a good candidate
for the JUC. I am committed to our community and would like the opportunity to contribute to
effective and sound decision making on recreational issues. I will offer my commitment to the
success of this committee's projects and goals.
