THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I HAVE WORKED IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR A COUPLE OF DECADES IN MOSTLY SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA, AND I MOVED UP TO THE METRO AREA ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO.
I HAVE WORKED AS AN HR LEADER IN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, MANUFACTURING, BUSINESS SERVICES, HEALTH CARE, A VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES, AND I THINK THAT THAT BREADTH OF EXPERIENCE HAS PREPARED ME VERY WELL TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE FOR THE CITY OF COUNCIL BLUFFS. MY PERSONAL LIFE.
WE LIVE IN OMAHA, BUT CERTAINLY ARE LOOKING AT OTHER POSSIBILITIES CLOSER TO HERE.
I AM MARRIED AND WE HAVE EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN, SO OUR HOUSE IS VERY FULL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
BUT I AM REALLY EXCITED TO GET TO KNOW THE REST OF THE TEAM HERE AT THE CITY AND TO CONTINUE WHAT WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, MAKING THIS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND WORK.
AND THEN MY FINAL COMMENT I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO APPLIED, PARTICIPATED, WENT THROUGH THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, NOT ONLY THE CANDIDATES, BUT THEN THE ACTUAL TEAM THAT DID THE WORK.
APPRECIATE YOU GUYS AND EVERYBODY'S HARD EFFORT ON THIS.
