Briefly describe your qualifications including education, business and volunteer experience, including current job
description. (Please submit your resume along with this application form.)
My background is in heavy aerospace electronics systems as an Electronics Technician/Engineer. I owe much of my
recent vocational experience in Broadcast Engineering maintaining radio transmitters and communications
equipment. My hobbies are in the same field of Ham Radio and teaching young enthusiasts in the field of electronics.
I am a retired Army Signal Corps. officer with command experience in communications/computer systems

connection with the natural beauty of what this state of Minnesota has to offer. The natural resources we all enjoy in
this state and local communities are a blessing and are to be preserved for our children and children's children.
To be part of a community team with our Water Shed District in the process of watershed management is
interesting to me; feeding a desire to learn while serving my community and the people who live here. Our water
shed is a valuable asset and needs to be managed and protected by concerned local resistants of Prior Lake. I
would like to serve if possible.
My wife and I live in the Wilds Golf Community and have three grown children and three grand-children. We enjoy
golf and walks in the surrounding parks. It is great to live here.
What skills do you possess which will be beneficial in serving on the Watershed Board?
Team management, strong leadership skills and an understanding of Geography, Soil percolation; and the
knowledge of water-shed dynamics.
Briefly describe your interest in this position and how you can serve the community.
With the many lakes and rivers in the region and all around our community I am fascinated with the system of how
these streams, rivers and aquaeductus relate and what is to be managed to preserve the integrity of out water
supply system.
Please list any references that we may contact.

Briefly describe your qualifications including education, business and volunteer experience, including current job
description. (Please submit your resume along with this application form.)
Thank you for your consideration. I regard the opportunity to be able to serve on the board a high honor. I believe I
possess the educational, professional and personal requirements for this board position.
I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a Bachelors degree in Environmental Studies and Theology. My
focus area was Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability issues.
Currently I hold a position at the Rainforest Alliance/SmartWood Program in Northfield , MN.
(www.rainforest-alliance.org) SmartWood certifies companies working with wood products to Forest Stewardship
Standards (FSC). My position requires the drafting of budgets, review of standards and reports, and scheduling of
audits. I am also a trained auditor and visit our clients onsite to assess their compliance to FSC standards. I enjoy this
aspect of my position perhaps most, as it affords me the opportunity to meet our clients. Working in an
environmental non-profit I am truly one of the lucky people who enjoy what they do day in and day out-and am
blessed by the opportunity to work and feel at the same time that I contribute to a broader goal.
In my personal life-though a busy mom and wife, I've found time to volunteer in my children's schools, with the
MOMS Club of Prior Lake, and National Women's Organization. Volunteering in my own community makes sense-as
this is where I have a vested interest.
*My resume will be submitted as an attachment shortly after this is submitted. Please advise if this is not received
What skills do you possess which will be beneficial in serving on the Watershed Board?
The skills I have that would benefit this organization are:
. An understanding of the environmental issues and the community.
. The technical skill to understand and make decisions on the reporting done.
. Familiarity with working with both governmental and non-governmental entities.
. Comfortable addressing small and large groups of people.
. The ability to listen to the issues and be articulate.
. A history of being able to make key decisions.
Briefly describe your interest in this position and how you can serve the community.
I am interested In this position because I am a member of this community and a person concerned for the
conservation and sustainability of this community. My husband grew up in Prior lake and both he and his father
have businesses in this community. My children go to the Prior lake schools and participate in sports here. We have
made this our home for the future.
This position on the board appeals to my future career path, and I feel that what experience I have accumulated will
be valuable to this organization. I can use this experience to benefit both parties while developing personally.

Briefly describe your qualifications including education, business and volunteer experience, including current job
description. (Please submit your resume along with this application form.)
My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree from Rutgers-The State University in Plant Sciences and a
Master's of Science degree from the University of Nebraska, and a Ph.D, from Iowa State University in the Agricultural
Climatology. These programs have provided me with a strong interdisciplinary background in weather, climate,
hydrology, statistics as well as soils and crop production.
My business experience has also been diverse with both the federal government and the private sector. Most
recently I spent 17 years with the National Weather Service, NOAA's North Central River Forecast Center as a
hydrologic forecaster. My primary responsibility was forecasting river levels, the calibration of forecast models, data
analysis and forecast verification. I retired from Federal Service in April, 2008.
Prior to that I spent ten years with the former Control Data Corporation in Bloomington MN, first as a senior technial
consultant in agricultural meteorology and then as a business consultant to the sales force dealing with weather
centers around the world, before CDC closed down.
Prior to that I spent nine years with NOAA in their Joint Agricultural Weather Facility located in the USDA
Headquarters where we monitored weather and climate conditions around the world and provided assessments on
production impacts to USDA officials.
I was also heavily involved in various national and international committees and commissions dealing with climate
and agriculture issues.
What skills do you possess which will be beneficial in serving on the Watershed Board?
1. Thirty years of experience in water, weather and climate issues. A watershed ultimately integrates all ofthese
areas and more. A watershed needs to be looked at as a "system" that involves a number of components. When one
component of the system changes, the system itself changes.
2. The ability to critically analyze proposals. Over the years I have written many proposals or analyzed proposals that
have been submitted to us. Again because of my broad background, I am able to look at all the components of a
proposal and determine how well the proposal fits into the goals and direction of the organization.
3. Excellent writing skills. Over the years I have written a number of articles and proposals. Most recently I prepared
three sections of a book being prepared by a colleague of mine from the Netherlands for a major work he is doing for
Elsevier Press. Two years ago I wrote an entire chapter for the World Meteorological Organizations Handbook for
Agricultural Meteorology on pearl millet production in the developing world.
Briefly describe your interest in this position and how you can serve the community.
Although retired I still have a lot of energy and ideas. Retirement offers me the opportunity to give back to the
community that has been my home for the past 29 years. I have watched the changes in the community and
particularly in the lake. When I saw the clipping seeking applicant's for the Watershed Board, I felt that this was one
area that I could make a definite contribution. I hope you will give me that opportunity.
Please list any references that we may contact.

Briefly describe your qualifications including education, business and volunteer experience, including current job
description. (Please submit your resume along with this application form.)
I received my bachelor of Science Degree in Aquatic Biology from St. Cloud State University in 1994 and have worked
in the water resources field ever since. I have been employed by Carver County as a Environmentalist III (Water
Resource Emphasis) since 1996 and have developed and grown the current water quality program to what it is
today.
In my current role with Carver County I oversee and develop TMDLs, manage our water quality monitoring program
for lakes and streams, and oversee and develop grant opportunities. We consider our program to be one the best in
the state and a leader in TMDL development and implementation. We have been recognized by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (and other funding agencies)in our efforts by being the recipient of multiple grants to date
totaling nearly 1 million dollars.
*1 am unsure if I will be prompted to attach my resume when I submit this electronically, if not it is available upon
request.
What skills do you possess which will be beneficial in serving on the Watershed Board?
I have worked with similar boards over the past 12 years in a professional capacity and understand the nuances of
how they operate. Most importantly I think that my knowledge ofTMDL's and water quality would be a valuable
resource for a board dealing with multiple water bodies currently on the impaired waters list. Having someone that
deals with similar issues to yours on a daily basis would be a great benefit to provide first hand accounts to similar
activities and projects that are currently underway as well as offer first hand feedback on what has and has not
worked in those situations.
Briefly describe your interest In this position and how you can serve the community.
I have been interested In water quality for most of my life, I grew up traveling to the family cabin on weekends and
now travel to my own in Wisconsin nearly every weekend. So between work and leisure and am on or near water
nearly every day of the week and love it. I think that my professional and personal experiences through the years
would provide valuable input to this board. I am interested in this position to gain valuable incite from "the other
side of the table" that will hopefully benefit me in my current role as well as this board.
Please list any references that we may contact.
