Verbal Communication
I have participated in multiple speaking engagements to the public, staff, State Legislators, and community organizations.

Organizational Structure
My view of how an organization should work is to create partnerships within and between agencies, departments and individuals to encourage the sharing of information and resources. All
relevant contributors and stakeholders should be included in planning and decision making to ensure that approaches to getting the work done are both effective and efficient.
7
Operational Efficiency
Similar to operational structure, the sharing of resources and planning operations across all departments to ensure that there are not duplications of efforts. Project coordination between
departments is critical to this process.

Budget and Finance
The budget should focus on the primary responsibilities of government first.
Quality of life/Public safety
Infrastructure/transportation and utilities services
Education
Vibrant communities
The budget should be balanced, have accountability and transparency.
