Why are you seeking this appointment?
Arts are central to the continued growth and flourishing of Edmonds, the greater Snohomish
County region and society in general. I have a lifelong interest in the arts and believe in the
importance of maintaining and promoting community awareness and access to civic arts and
cultural opportunities. The ECA is a tremendous cultural and economic asset that contributes
greatly to making Edmonds and the broader regional area such a wonderful place to live. Its
continued, long-term success is essential to the preservation and ongoing development of a
robust and thriving arts presence in the Community. I would be pleased to lend my commitment
to the arts, as well as my skills and knowledge to furthering the continued growth and
development of the ECA. I believe that with my professional experience and educational
background I can meaningfully contribute to the work of the Board.
What skills and knowledge do you have to meet the selection criteria?
I have a diverse skill set that I believe would be helpful in contributing to the work of the Board,
including excellent organizational skills, oral and written communication skills, analytical ability
and critical thinking skills, listening skills, independent judgment, and the ability to work
effectively and productively with others as well as independently. I have relevant professional
experience and educational background, including an undergraduate degree in Art History from
Stanford University and nearly 30 years of professional work as an attorney, the last 26 as a
Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney with the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office (Civil
Division). While I have not been a member of a nonprofit board, I have considerable experience
with boards and con nissions both as legal counsel (including the King County Personnel Board
and the King County Civil Service Commission) and in practice before various administrative
boards. Among other things, I have extensive experience drafting and reviewing contracts and
other legal instruments.
Please list any other Board, Commission, Committee, or official positions you currently
hold with the City of Edmonds: None.
