Re: ,recommendation; for Conrad Mansion Board of f Directors
Dear Mayor Kennedy & City Council Members:
It has been a great honor and privilege to serve for the past four , years as the City representative
on the Conrad Mansion Board of Directors. This past Fall 1 was elected President of the Board
of Directors, and would appreciate the opportunity of ire --appointment to the Board so 1 can oversee
.any exciting projects and activities planned for the Mansion.
By way of background, let rye reiterate my history and ties to the Conrad Mansion, which 1
previously snared in my original application for appointment: My love of the Conrad Mansion
star i as a very. small child.listening-,Abe tones great . a�� � Amanda
Edmiston told of attending Mrs. Conrad " s parties, and looking at -Mrs . Conrad 's calling card so
proudly displayed in Aunt .Amanda's scrapbooks, From 1982 through the summer of 1986 1
enjoyed being a tour guide at the Mansion to local visitors, school groups, and tourists from
around the world. The to rg ld e experience was both educational and fun, and instilled a sense
of pride in that special louse, which feels like a second home to all of us who gilded there.
Currently I am a partner in the law firm Measure, Bobbin & Wilson, located at 24 First Avenue
East, in downtown Kalispell. My practice focuses on real estate and general business and
employment law. On numerous occasions in the past four years, I've been able to provide the
Conrad Mansion professional advice and resources,, which have benetted the .mansion as a
Nosiness and as an employer. 1 am married to Dan Wilson (who is also ray law partner), and we
a -year old daughter (Li , who attends Woodland Montessori preschool.

My current goals as a Board member and Board President are:
(1) preserving and rejuvenating the Conrad Mansion, its gardens, and its collection;
(2) increasing the Mansion's presence in our community as the "Home" of Kalispell;
(3) increasing the number of members of the Mansion, through an organized membership drive,
publicity and community awareness;
(4) making the Mansion a destination for tourists and locals; and
(5) continuing to serve our community as a resource and place for area children to learn the history
of Northwest Montana.
t would be a great honor to continue serving as the City's representative to the Board and be
given the opportunity to pursue these goals for another four years. Thank you for considering me
for reappointment to the Board of Directors of the Conrad .Mansion.
Sincerely,
MEASURE, R IN & W SON. P.C.
