I was appointed by the City Council to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of Visit Newport Beach, Inc. in December of 2011.

good understanding of the City's governance structure which provides positive guidance for the Executive Committee and Board of
Directors in its dealings with the City Council and City staff.
I would like to continue membership on the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of Newport Beach & Company (Visit Newport
Beach, Inc.) and would appreciate being reappointed.

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.
