I personally have a strong interest in helping the Firewise Commission educate

and less reactive regarding fires and other disasters. Also, having a staff member from
the MRC serve on the Firewise Commission would benefit both groups in developing a
partnership that can result in projects and programs to promote community resilience and
fire safety. Some of the partners of the Jackson County MRC includes: OR Health

Dear Ms. Christensen:
Enclosed is my application for a position on the Ashland Forest Lands Commission.

contribute to the commission's work.
Sincerely,

Related Experience
What prior work experience have you had that would help you if you were appointed to this position?
As a Starbucks store manager in downtown Portland I experienced first hand the impact of infrastructure and planning on a
business- from transportation corridors to pedestrian friendly walkways, a vibrant retail core, mixed-use buildings, and
greenways. The city's planning directly impacted our daily business, from the customer experience to the safety of personnel
arriving for a 4am shift.
Also, I interned at the Portland Business Alliance when studying Community Development at Portland State University. I
collected data for the annual business census and managed a quarterly pedestrian count used to inform policy on developing a
thriving business and retail core. I learned the vitality of a city and region depend on one another. Sustainability of a thriving
community requires a healthy economy, an educated workforce and environmental stewardship.
Most recently I worked at a non-profit, Hands On Greater Portland, as the Special Events and Corporate Volunteer Coordinator .
I worked with 70+ community partners from grassroots organizations like food banks to global companies such as Nike and Intel.
I facilitated relationship building between the corporate and nonprofit worlds with the goal of creating meaningful and impactful
volunteer opportunities for companies to apply their time and talent to cultivate a thriving community. I experienced the power
of engaging a diversity of community stakeholders to solve problems and fill gaps. It can lead to conversations and relationships
across multiple sectors and generation better solutions and innovative ideas.
Do you feel it would be advantageous for you to have further training in this field, such as attending conferences or seminars?
Why?
Yes. Every community is unique therefore I would be interested in any training that addresses the challenges and/or opportunities
unique to Ashland.
Interests
Why are you applying for this position? My family is committed to Ashland and looking forward to raising our future children
here. I am interested in creating more workforce housing, attracting more jobs with higher pay, diversifying our economic base,
and designing for future challenges including climate change, an aging population, and food security.
I want to contribute to the planning and design of a thriving vibrant community using ethical principles that care for the earth,
people, plants and animals.
I have always had a passion for community and service. As evidenced by my service in Americorps, my degree in Community
Development, working at Hands On Portland and volunteering with Ashland Parks and Rec and the Senior Center.
Availability
Are you available to attend special meetings, in addition to the regularly scheduled meetings? Do you prefer day or evening
meetings? Yes I am available and committed to attend all meetings. Evening is my preference.

Attn: Barbara Christensen, City Recorder
RE: Planning Commission Vacancy
I am thrilled to apply for the City of Ashland Planning Commission. My passion for planning
and community development has grown over the last 10 years and I would like to contribute
my talents to my new community. 1 transplanted to Ashland from Portland, OR just under a
year ago due to my husband's career.
As a resident, student and professional of Portland for 20 years, I experienced the vitality of
comprehensive planning. I witnessed the community benefits born from the foresight of
long-term goals and commitment to a sustainable, livable lifestyle.
My knowledge for this position comes from the volunteer work and research I did while
earning my degree in Community Development. Additionally, while a retail manager in the
core of downtown Portland for many years, I experienced first hand the direct impact of
transportation corridors, pedestrian friendly walkways and mixed-used retail cores.
I would bring a fresh perspective and a voice for young working families. In my short time
here, I have witnessed the loss of young families as they discover they can not afford to live in
Ashland. At the same time, I know it is important to any community to attract and keep young
talent in Ashland. With planning and design for additional workforce housing, good schools,
and high paying jobs, we can achieve those goals.
I am committed to ethics, integrity, diversity, community, and principles that advocate for the
care of the earth, people and all living things.

1 am a business owner and leader within my industry (maritime). I have always taken
leadership positions, and have done my best to educate myself to the position at hand.
This has always proven successful for me, and I rarely do things 50%.
1 highly respect the environment, however if business /jobs suffer, then I will do my very
best to weigh both sides before making critical recommendations.
I believe that after learning the roles and responsibilities of the Tree Commission, I will
prove to be an asset.
