Director - Police & Fire Departments - 2 Years

"I have been a Crime Prevention Coordinator for thirty years. I've also worked as an inventory clerk/city yards-warehouse, street maintenance/asphalt crew-city yards, and as a janitor & maintenance/city hall, going back to 1966. In the nineties, I served on the MEA Board for two years. I want to make sure MEA continues to be part of the Coalition and that MEA members receive the best representation possible during negotiations. I will strive to make the MEA organization as transparent and accountable in all of its operational proceedings. United we stand - divided - we'll certainly fall short of what we should achieve."

This is my second full term as an elected member of the MEA board and I look forward to helping other employees better understand their contract, MOU, and rights and responsibilities as City employees."
