It's an honor to be on this board and I take it very seriously. I do the homework, learn as much as 1: can before hand, CL

and am not afraid to ask questions. Is thiis good for our environment, our communities, our residenits, is it feasible,
viable? Fascinating.
1 can't help but have a little puff of pride when we as a board have a tough one that requires open conversations.
Everyone gets involved, we talk it out, back and forth,, and when we're through we know we've done our best to make _J
the right decision. Awesome.
One of the things about thiisjob' is our fantastic back up. Whenever we get befuddled or not sure about something, >

knowledgeable, so helpful, it is always a pleasure to talk with any and all of them. (I get smarter every time I talk with
them.)
