| Collapse all
My wife and I have raised three children on our family's rural home. All going on to graduate college and start their respective careers. I am a project manager presently at a mechanical design and HVAC firm in Ames. My wife is an insurance underwriter in Story City. I am on numerous boards and committees in Nevada proper and several with county wide presence.
I have been a Story County Supervisor and am the current board president on the Nevada CSD and have served there for 15 years.- My north star while serving on a taxing entity, county or school, is to be mindful of not asking for anymore tax dollars than are needed to perform the lawful duties of either. Public dollars are often only one step removed from a private citizen or business. No government body should be a holding organization of those dollars unless they have a stated purpose for good.
- I live in a rural setting, on a gravel road, and I see many of the daily deficiencies and hardships folks in similar circumstances deal with. Public safety is more than law enforcement. It is non-sanctioned bridges and improperly surfaced roads reflecting their traffic volumes. No Iowan should fear a section of roadway going to and from their home. The dollars and the planning and the collective will are sorely needed to mitigated known deficiencies.
- You have but to immerse yourself in a K-12 school's management to realize over time that many of society's needs are addressed under a school's roof. Education is the primary facet for our schools, but their portfolios have expanded to serve students, and some families, outside a school setting. Early nutrition, weekend nutrition, counseling and basic family needs are but a few addressed in our schools today. Clearly not what is thought of as the delivery of education. There is a dollar commit to all these things and it must be accounted for. The school district is held dearly in many medium and small communities. I would like our DE to formulate the tangible help tools to give a path to these schools to succeed and excel.
His sunny demeanor made this county believe in itself again after the dark years of Vietnam.
He was ridiculed as a less-than imposing intellect but history shames that once held narrative.
The embedded conviction that your service is only for a finite time and all that you do and touch matter.
Do your organization no harm in your time of service. And always strive to leave it better than when you started your service.
Be available to all that ask of your time. You're never not a districts member representative. They put you there.
The extra effort to acquire additional operational insights of State governance quickly.
Until I went off to college.
Collective shared institutional knowledge is to be welcomed as it speeds the individual's contribution time.
To be asked to be job shadowed to see how you learn discernment of issues is touching. You often think nobody cares or notices but that's not been my experience.
All spending should have a clear path seen from acquisition to expenditure.
