1. My background is in Business Management. As a new Trustee, I know it will take time and patience to review existing policies, discussing alternatives with other Trustees, and formulating new policy change, if needed, to optimize our revenues. My priority has always been about the education and care of our youth. 2. As prior State Director of USDA Rural Development, my team brought in over Sl hillion of funding from 2001 to 2008to help rural areas in Hawaii, American Samoa and the Western Pacific with housing, medical centers, community facilities, rural utilities and business guarantee loans. I had the opportunity to collaborate with many others to arrive at decisions or solutions that would get the job done. I'm a people person who works well with others, and I believe my business experienee and proven credentials is needed as a Trustee.
