How did you hear about the CCCW?
I formerly served on the CCCW, from December of 2009 until August of 2011,
and I have followed the activities of the Commission since I left.
1.What experience, if any, do you have with county commissions?
As stated above, I previously served on the CCCW. I have also served on several
committees and commissions for the City of Pinole. I was on the Economic
Development and Housing Advisory Committee for the City of Pinole, as the
Vice Chair for 4 years. I served five terms, one as Chair, of the Pinole Youth
Commission. I served as the Youth Member to the Pinole Citizens Safety
Committee, and I was the Youth Commission Representative to the Board of
Directors for the Pinole Youth Foundation.
2.Do you have any experience/skills in any of the following areas?
Law X Government XCommunity Services
Accounting Health Graphic Arts
Education Fundraising XPublic Relations
Finance XComputer Human Services
Other:
3.Please give details as to your area of expertise.
I served as the Government Operations At Local Levels Director for the California
Association of Student Councils Region 4, meaning that I was a lobbyist for youth
issues, in addition to my work on the Commissions and Committees for the City
of Pinole.
4.Do you serve on any Board of Directors/Trustees? If so, which ones?
I do not currently serve on any Board of Directors.
5.Have you had any board orientation and/or training?
I have undergone the County board orientation, as required.
6.Are you involved in any other community organizations or activities? If so,
which ones?
I am currently a member of the group Concerned Citizens for Pinole, which is a
grassroots good government and community oriented organization.
7.Why do you want to serve on the CCCW?
I have always been interested in and an advocate for expanded opportunities for
women. I want to be a part of a group that has this goal, which the CCCW does
and then some. I want to be able to affect change, and contribute and see tangible
results, and I feel that this group is the best forum for that. The only reason I had
left was to try and take advantage of something I had thought was an opportunity
out in North Dakota, which did not work out. Leaving the Commission was
something I very much regret doing.
8.Would you be willing to participate in the annual all-day planning retreat?
Of course. I am willing to put in 110% of my effort and abilities into working on
the Contra Costa Commission for Women
FEEL FREE TO ATTACH RESUME
The Commissioner assures that all actions of the organization further our mission
to improve economic status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women
in Contra Costa County.
