Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position for which you are applying,
As an Orange County native, I have had the priviledge of living in Newport Beach for the past 12 years, and have seen the
community grow into an amazing destination. Throughout my career I have had lots of exposure to the travel industry which I
believe can transfer nicely to the VNB Exec Committee, bringing the type of experience you are looking for. Now that I have
retired from my position with Sunset and Coastal Magazines, as well as my duties with Visit California, I would love to keep
active in the travel community by serving on your Committee. In addition to experience in the travel industry, I have had full P&L
responsibilities, budget development and management and the responsibility to continually create new revenue streams in a
challenging and competitive environment. Please note that I do occasional volunteer work for Barb Newton at Cal Travel which
I do not believe would be in conflict with this position.
I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the

Although I lack the preferred experience in the hospitality industry, i am familiar with the history of Visit Newport Beach and with the
contract under which the obligation for a City appointee on the Executive Committee arose. In my view, the City appointee is intended
to function more as a watchdog than as a adviser. In that role, I believe i would bring a much needed new perspective to this Committee
whose meetings have been, and probably continue to be, off limits to the public in general.
