The final statement on the ballot

   I’m a systems analyst, trained to study complex organizations like our Laguna Woods Village system, which needs to be studied if we are to make it work better—and if elected, I promise to conduct that research.

 

   I’m highly qualified to gather information about community issues and to analyze that data for publication. I’ve conducted hundreds of such studies and I taught many journalists to do similar studies over the course of my thirty-year teaching career.

 

   Many residents have expressed to me that one of the major challenges for our community is keeping our assessments down while maintaining our programs and pleasant living environment. I promise to work hard to find ways to meet those challenges.

 

   I’m a trained parliamentarian and team player, skilled in developing consensus among people of varying backgrounds and opinions. As a retired college professor, I’m also an experienced communicator and I’ll use my communication skills to facilitate a meaningful exchange of ideas between Village residents and the Third Mutual Board.
