I bring to the district my passion, strong skills and career experience in financial oversight, budgets, taxes, business plans, and strategic planning, all associated with my profession as a credit union CEO. I also understand first-hand the importance of healthy reserves and effective oversight. I served on the Lompico Water District board from December 2008 to June 2016, helping to secure a reliable long-term solution to water and financial challenges via merger with SLVWD, and in 2013 I was honored to be named Board President of the Year by the California Special District Association. While serving on the Lompico Board I attended Santa Margarita Basin meetings, and continue now as a board member representing SLVWD on the newer SGMA Santa Margarita Groundwater Agency. I had comprehensive training on the Brown Act, ethics, and board member duties prior to joining SLVWD, and believe it continues to be essential for our board to have this necessary ongoing training to improve our service to ratepayers, in providing our primary mission of clean, reliable water at an equitable price.

My goal, along with those of other directors who were elected for this term, is to restore public trust, respect, listen and be responsive to ratepayer concerns about infrastructure, cost controls, water security, and the practicalities of what we must do as a district to prepare for drought, disaster and climate change.


I feel fortunate to have lived in our San Lorenzo Valley community for over 47 years, surrounded by the beauty of our redwood forest watershed. I join all of you who feel it’s important that we protect our precious resources, working together so generations ahead can share this same joy, while focusing on the role of the water district.
