One area of interest is in keeping the charter language as clear as possible.My experience as a site reviewer and as a board
commissioner with the accreditation of intensive English programs has impressed on me the need to make any documents
that are used for evaluation or decision making to be as clear as possible.My experience as an English teacher for 40 years
would also be valuable.A second area of interest is in the election process and procedures.I believe elections should be
(llIiW easily accessible to all citizens,and that the process.limitations,and scope of the elections,as well as the positions being
voted on should align with citizen wishes.My experience here is in being an active voter,registering voters,and attending
city council meetings to view the city operations.
22. What would you hope to accomplish in the role of a Charter Review Commissioner?(250 words or less)

face-to-face meetings,as well as greater participation in the boards and commissions.
