Dear Mayor Kennedy,
March 9, 2009
I am writing to once again express my interest in filling a vacancy on the Conrad
Mansion Board of Directors. In addition to my interest in Historic Preservation, I believe
my experience and education would be beneficial to the mansion operation.
Currently, I am a teacher at Flathead High School in the Special Services department. I
am also certified to teach History and Political Science. In addition to a teaching degree,
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Recreation Management. My experience includes being a
current board member of the Glacier Association which operates the book stores in
Glacier National Park and other NPS sites, and working with a citizens' board while
employed as the Parks and Recreation Director in Havre. I am currently the president of
our Homeowner's Association.
In addition to my experience, I have a strong interest in local history of both the Flathead
Valley and the Tobacco Valley. I spent time exploring historical areas from rural school
houses to historical mansions. I understand the quandary of preserving facilities while
managing for their use. I believe that I have a cooperative attitude and can work well
with volunteer board members and paid staff. I am willing to accept the responsibility of
being an effective member of the Conrad Mansion Board.
I am willing to roll up my sleeves and pitch in with whatever work is necessary for the
operation of the Conrad Mansion and I believe I would be an asset as a board member. I
would be happy to discuss the details of my experience with you at any time. Feel free to
call me at any time. My home phone is 752-5362. My work phone is 751-3515.
