What skills and experiences do you have that would make you a good trustee?
My skill set includes 17 years of professional communications experience, 26 years of public
sector experience, a lifetime of volunteer experience in my community, adult teaching, elementary level supply teaching, participation
in several parish ministries and a product of the elementary and secondary Catholic school system right here in my community.
I have hands-on experience with public policy development and considerable municipal, provincial and federal government relations
experience.
What are the top three issues facing your board?
1. Planning for growth - Provincial forecasts estimate that Hamilton's population will grow by
more than 200,000 over the next few decades. The building boom has already begun. The Board must be ready to build.
2.
Safety & security - Parents, school admistrators and police must work hand-in-hand to ensure our students and staff aren't
at risk of violence.
3. Catholicity - Ensuring a contiguous Catholic community with Catholic values modeled by students,
teachers, parents & leaders.
