Over the past 15 years in my career as a realtor, the nature of my business has been to bring people together, to negotiate, to manage give-and-take situations, and to listen for what really matters. I started attending council meetings early this year, and have spent the past few months out on the streets, gathering feedback from residents about what really matters to them.
To be a trusted and effective public representative, I believe that there must be accessible two-way communication. This blog will allow you to tell me what matters most to you, will give me the opportunity to answer your questions, and will outline my stands on issues that impact Nanaimo residents on a daily basis.
I hope this dialogue will give you a better idea of who I am, and how I will serve you as a councillor.
Hi Pat: I read in your election platform that you would promote women in leadership positions. While I agree (as long as they are competent and it’s not tokenism) and I applaud you for both recognizing and recommending this, I wonder how you would go about making this happen, if elected?
