I have young children who accompany me to the YMCA and other activities at the Community Center for Tot Time, Open Gym, and events like the JBRF sales and more. Recently l became a hockey mom with the AHYHA. l am also a very active volunteer in youth sports in Andover and believe in lending my time and talents to serve my community. I also believe providing youth activities are key in the development of our future generations to be good team players that are inclusive and supportive all people. Describe your education/experience, which qualifies you to serve on this commission: Given I have been on the ACC/YMCA Commission forth e past 2 years, l have learned a great deal about the current workings of the group and its involvement in City projects. I believe my experience as a business owner and a sales and marketing professional are key in helping the commission to determine business development opportunities like with the River Valley's Girls Scouts. I am also very involved in seeking new revenue streams with current and potential partners for the community center today and in the future. 1 also believe as an active user of the facility I have valuable insight and understanding of the demand on the facility and how to best realize its potential opportunities. Describe your professional, civic or community activities, which may be relevant to this commission: As indicated on my resume, I have over 20 years of Sales and Marketing Experience including 14 years working for Major Media Corporations, 5 years as a Small Business Owner and over years as a Freelance Marketing Consultant for local small businesses.

I believe my contributions to the Commission have been significant and I am determined to continue the good work I have started. As you may recall from my interview 2 years ago, I am a Sales and Marketing Professional with over 20 years of experience including 14years in Media Sales, 5 years as a small business owner and most recently as a Freelance Marketer helping local small business owners. Even with all my years of experience in sales and marketing, what truly sets me apart is that I have been a.small business owner. Creating a business from scratch and formulating a system that produces results year after year gives me the unique advantage in understanding what truly drives business which I believe centers around the client experience. Given the current demands on the ACCNMCA and being an active user of the facility myself I have great insight into the pain points our current users are feeling. Also, as an active participant in various youth groups in Andover I am aware of desires from potential users that are currently not able to use this facility. With this insight along with my years on the ACC/YMCA Commission and my understanding of business development, I believe I am the right person to seek opportunities for the facility to meet the demands from its current users and generate new revenue from potential users that will result in less of a tax burden on Andover Residents. I humbly ask that you renew my position on the ACCNMCA Advisory Commission and appreciation the opportunity to serve with you to continue to make the Andover YMCA Community Center a community asset for all of Andover.
