Civic Involvement

I was appointed to the Bothell Library Board in 1988 and served until 1998.  I served in various capacities, including president of the board.  During my tenure, a new library was proposed, planned, approved, and built. It is a facility that serves Bothell well.  Since 1998, I have been an appointed Bothell Civil Service Commission member.  In a long civil hearing, I was able to work with my fellow civil service members and various attorneys to reach a decision, ending a long stressful situation.
