* ENDORSED
 Message to the Membership
I am proud of Assiniboine's participative role in community development. Being a community based cooperative has allowed us to build strong customer relationships. As I travel around the City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba, I notice ACU's efforts in terms of building self-reliant and sustainable communities. I would like to be able to do more. I am running for election and I asking for your support so that we can expand and enhance ACU's involvement in community efforts.
Biography

Q. |
ACU aims to have a Board that is representative of the members and communities we serve. We strive for gender balance, ethnic and cultural diversity, and diversity of age and life stage. A gap analysis of the current Board complement has been conducted and, in 2010, we’re looking for strong candidates with skills and experience in finance and environment.
To increase diversity on the Board we are also looking for strong candidates who are male, aboriginal, person of colour, person with a disability, active in the workforce, parent/guardian of school-age children.
Please elaborate on how your presence on the ACU Board would address one or more of these identified gaps. |

I am under 45 years old, of Metis ancestry and have one child in elementary school and one at university. |
Q. |
What would be your greatest contribution to the ACU Board? |
A. |
My experience and my education are the greatest contributions. I have worked at Manitoba Hydro for 20 years. Currently I am working as a Project Manager. I draw upon my previous education and experience as a technician, engineer, and MBA studies to enhance my management techniques. |
