Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Growing up in the Shenandoah Valley, I learned the worth of forests & the environment. 4 years & a BA from R-MWC gave me leadership roles in international, environmental and student governance. An MA+ at UNC-CH and marriage to a medical student opened the world, through years of international travel, to experience of urban areas, to teaching, to volunteering, to political success. I love learning: Servant Leader & EFM (Episcopal Church), the highest level of training in the National League of Cities to serve as a Council Member, every SWCD Area, State & National meeting workshops possible have added to my knowledge, contacts and effectiveness. As a mother/grandmother, I wish to work for & leave a better world to those for whom I care!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Conservation and improvement of our natural resources, especially clean water & healthy soil, in order to feed people
• Trustworthiness & openness in order to serve all whom I represent & to take their message to local colleagues, the state and nation
• Efficient use: of funds to put good projects in the ground, of good contacts to achieve partnerships to improve cons

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Conservation, the environment, educating our residents to the best practices to achieve clean water & secure food supplies, i.e. helping both rural & urban farmers to improve livestock conditions & to have healthy soil & good land on which to practice their art & demanding labor, showing youngsters careers they may not consider & how to improve the environment, forming partnerships with local, state & national entities across all lines, public, government, educational, private & non-profit sectors, in just, open & equitable ways, to address the conservation/environmental challenges we all face

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Martin Luther King, Jr., who stood up for his just cause, passionately, completely, with sacrifice, nobility, and courage. He proved to be a servant leader, with incredible word craft, with charisma beyond most, touching individuals outside his organization and moving them to action as well. He gave our generation, as did JFK, the will to go beyond the accepted boundaries of our social structure, to work for others, to try to understand others' issues. I hear his voice echoing so often!

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Trustworthiness

Willingness to learn, to listen, to act, to work
Extensive network and experience
Desire to bridge divides, rural/urban, political, underserved, etc.
Knowledge of the capacity, mission, potential of SWCD's

Proven commitment & fiscal responsibility

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Willingness to learn the issues, to see others' viewpoints, to work with others 360 degrees around the table to achieve the best possible results for those who elected us & the extended human family and our Earth. To be fiscally responsible...& creative. To commit the needed time, to be engaged, especially with our constituents, listening, networking, present & alert to potential, to voice concerns & solutions. To carry through on commitments, to be trustworthy. To balance needs and demands in order to make good decisions. To be fiscally responsible and efficient. To understand what SWCD does & can do; if not adequate to the need, to partner, to lobby, to learn how better to achieve our goals. To follow the guidelines & share in refining them if not contemporary. To support our Staff & our colleagues, encouraging each other to educate ourselves to better service. To participate in our educational role. To learn from our past & look to the future, facing challenges to the best of our capacity, knowing that we are not alone, but standing with others concerned with the same issues.
