Dear City Recorder:
I would like to be considered for appointment to the vacant position on the Ashland
Fiber Network Programming Committee. Enclosed is a copy of a brief resume.
I relocated my home and business to Ashland in May, after many years in Seattle.. Thus
far, I've been very impressed by AFN and would to become more involved with this
excellent community resource.
My professional background is in marketing, communications and public relations. For
more than 10 years, one of my firm's clients was Northwest Cable Advertising.
Originally a joint-venture of Viacom and TCI, the company was responsible for selling
and placing advertising on multiple cable networks throughout the Pacific Northvvest.
That experience gave me a good grounding in commercial and non-commercial television
programmIng.
Please contact me if you have any questions about my background and qualifications.
Sincerely,
~h-
