It has been a privilege to serve on the Lake Forest Park City Council.

Since I moved to Lake Forest Park in 1989, I have been involved in local government and community initiatives. In my professional life, I'm a consultant in commercial real estate; I also teach strategic planning and project management.

In order to have a sustainable budget that reflects our community's values, strategic planning is critical.

As a business owner, I understand the need for fiscal responsibility. I have initiated and supported cuts in spending to balance the budget over the past four years.

As a Councilmember, I chaired the Financial Futures Citizens Task Force and initiated a financial and strategic planning course of action for the Council.

I believe maintaining the character and beauty of Lake Forest Park is essential.

I support community efforts to protect our environment, parks, streams and open space.

I led the efforts to establish the Cedarbrook Task Force.

It is vital that our city's leadership participate in regional governing organizations. I am affiliated with:

• Association of Washington Cities
• Suburban Cities Association (SCA)
• Puget Sound Regional Council, Economic Development Board
• SCA Caucus Chair
• Great City, Board Chair
• Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Policy Council
