When not at Hope College, Margo enjoys spending time with her family and cats. It is a big group, as she and her husband have five children between them who are all adults living and learning all over the US. In her spare time, she is getting her hands dirty in the garden, putting together a puzzle or doing a home improvement project. She also enjoys the theater.
Professional Experience Margo was a receptionist at St. Francis Catholic Church in Holland from 2009 to 2013. Prior to that, she worked as the general manager for Holland Civic Theatre, in accounts receivable and as a stay-at-home mom (her favorite job!).
Education & Trainings B.A., Indiana University, 1990 CQ – Cultural Intelligence Trainer since 2021 TRHT Circle Leader since 2020
Equity Advisor since 2022- Diverse Representation: Holland Township is a diverse community and I am committed to building a township where everyone feels like they belong. I will initiate a bilingual listening tour for township trustees and administrators to meet, listen, and understand our community’s needs.
- Accessibility: Holland Township’s infrastructure must be updated to reflect our rapid growth. Significant attention must be given to the usability of our sidewalks and bus stops. Some bus stops do not have sidewalks around them, forcing riders to stand in grass or snow. I will focus on ensuring that our public spaces and rental units are designed for everyone, initiating studies to ensure that Holland Township is accessible for everyone.
- Good Governance and Transparency: The Holland Township trustees must be ethical in their decisions. This process takes time, patience, and deliberation. When decisions are made, they will be made in plain view with input from residents, seeking the best interests of the community. We must follow established rules and recognize the spirit of the law, while keeping the decision making process open and transparent to the community.
