I came to this area from Whitby Ontario while working with DuPont. I retired from the Maitland site after 30 years service to care for my husband, who was ill and died a few years later. In the meantime I took a real estate license and have now worked in this field for 11 years. I have always been interested and active in community and really love Brockville as a place to live work and play. I chose to come to this area with DuPont with a view to a good retirement community. My children and their families have followed me to Brockville and live and work locally. I now believe I am ready for a new challenge. I wish to put my name forward to fill the empty counsellor position. The following is a summary of my qualifications and the skills that I would bring to the job. Experience During my years with DuPont I had the opportunity to prepare budgets, manage work groups, train employees, write business plans, integrate business systems, study and learn continuously new methods, ideas and concepts. Teaming and problem solving were important parts of everything I did. I believe that these universal skills would be invaluable in filling the role that you have open now. Before coming to Brockville I was a Director for our church in Whitby where I served for a number of years allocating the resources and resolving issues with the other Board members (similar I expect to what a council does only we had staff to administer also). Character I would be pleased to provide you with references, both business and personal from here in the community and elsewhere if requested.
