8 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2022 | As a returning Board member, I am uniquely qualified to serve you on the Master Board. I know how Sun Lakes works, and how to get things done. I will continue to be open to your ideas and listen to your concerns. I do not have a hidden agenda. As Treasurer, I initiated a program to help department managers by meeting with them frequently to anticipate issues that would affect their budget and help control spending. I created a new financial process that helps us quickly identify areas that need better budget control. This will be useful when preparing future budgets.

As your Board Member, I try to look at issues from the residents' viewpoint and do what is best for you. I will do what is right for Sun Lakes, and I'm ready for the challenge that this year will bring. I ask for your vote electing me to the Master Board.
