1) Please list any prior or current positions, related experience, and/or personal and professional skills within of the Green Party that you have, that apply to this position.

I am applying for my fourth term as a delegate on this committee. I have been a Green Party member for about 14 years. I have served four-2 year terms as an elected county council member and have attended 20 or so state meetings as a delegate from my county and have served on the state credential committee twice and participated in delegate election committees four times.

I attended my first national meeting in Washington, DC as an observer. I was a nominating convention delegate at the Milwaukee presidential convention and that December ran as an alternate to the GPCA delegation and in May 2005 ran as a delegate. I attended annual meetings in Tulsa and Tucson and then was elected as the delegation co-chair. I was re-elected to the delegation in May 2007 and reelected as co-chair at our first state meeting after attending the national meeting in Philadelphia. I attended the 2008 Presidential Convention and Annual National meeting in Chicago and at that meeting, I was elected as one of the seven co-chairs of GPUS. I attended the ANM in North Carolina in 2009 and in Detroit in 2010.

I am a member of the International Committee and the National Women’s Caucus, have served on the Finance Committee and am now on the Media Committee and just joined the Merchandise Committee.

2) Please list any prior or current positions, related experience, and/or personal and professional skills outside of the Green Party that you have, that apply to this position.

In the rest of my life, I retired from teaching in 2009, permaculture designer, political/social activist since the 70's, and co-creator of the San Mateo Ecovillage. See www.greensolutions.org for more about me. I think of myself as a planetary citizen, love to travel, and am fortunate that my husband works for United Airlines.

3) Please describe your vision for serving as GPUS Delegate including addressing the job description for GPUS Delegate.

I think my record speaks to this question.
