I moved to Hastings more than a year ago from California. I grew up in Red Wing, went to U of MN and moved to Silicon Valley 36 yrs ago. I moved back to the area because of a sick family member. Please share why you are interested in becoming involved with a City commission or task force. My feeling is that if I am going to live in a community I should give back in a meaningful way. My overall goal is to help improve the quality of life for all members of the community. I figure joining city committees at the local government level by is an effective way for me to better understand and integrate with the city. Supplemental Information Employer: Intel Corporation – Santa Clara (Retired) Occupation: Scientist – I ran the wireless research lab at Intel Corporation for 15 yrs and the Robotics lab for 5 yrs. What experience would you bring to the Commission or Task Force? As head of a research lab, I was successful starting and finishing complex projects. I am comfortable working with Governments, Universities, Regulatory and Industry partners. I have been an advisor and board member at several universities including the Dean’s advisory board at the University of Texas School of Engineering - Austin and the Business Advisory Board at the University of MN – Twin Cities. After retiring I took a role in the Encore (Retired Executives) program working with Santa Clara County. My role was to improve their Health and Human services programs, specifically Homelessness and Domestic Violence. The effort encompassed working with all seven major cities within the county (San Jose, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountainview, Palo Alto, etc) in collecting data to better understand these problems, than advising the City Mayors, City Councils and existing shelter and program directors to find ways to fund and improve their efforts. I am a lifelong fan of the arts. While my information above does not reflect this passion, I feel I could contribute to strategy, funding and direction setting. I have submitted many ideas with the Art Council in the city where I lived in CA, some of which were adopted. I have had many interactions with Lee Stoffel who is a former member of earlier arts committees and she suggested I continue to apply. I applied to this committee in the past but was not contacted. I have seen the proposals and past presentations made to the City Council meetings over the last few years and am certain I can help.
