i
since 2012, and I am currently in my fourth year as a
member of the BID marketing consortium.;This year,I
acted as chair, and next year, I will be acting as vice chair.
My desire to see our downtown grow inspired the to help in
as many capacities as my schedule allows,whether taking
on block captain recruitment responsibilities for the
marketing group,''preparing my employees to participate in
a downtown event, or getting involved with the many
committees we organize. Having an art related business,I
try to sponsor or organize events that promote the arts. We
have sponsored the children's pumpkin carving event at the
farmers market. I am also part of the chalk-walk
committee;have been for the last four years, and I co
chaired the committee this last year.!While my education
may be industry specific, I believe my time spent'
FF
participating on the ground level, working for our
community,has prepared me to take`on further
responsibilities within the city of Oshkosh:'
Please write a concise statement which' I wish to serve on the BID board to help determine what
describes why you wish to serve on the .. exactly my community will look like in the long run,
above Board/Commission. because I am invested for the long haul. The decisions
made within this'group have a significant impact`on my
quality of life. For example; This board can raise'my taxes,
and it decides which types of businesses receive said funds,
and which'ones do not:'I want to add my voice to that
discussion; and I believe this`group could benefit from my
insight.Not just on that subject,but on many others.
