Among the most valuable traits professionals in large organizations can offer, the ability to Communicate, Persuade and arrive at Consensus Agreements surely rank among the strongest. I find that after years of practical experience in large County Organizations my skills in this regard have never been greater and at this time I am prepared to accept new challenges.
You will note from my resume below that I have enjoyed a career rich in opportunities to exercise my skills involving Intergovernmental Relations and especially concerning complex intergovernmental web of plans, policies, and regulations. I take great pride in successfully navigating Federal, State, County, and regional channels toward the betterment of communities. My strongest asset has always been to pull together diverse mixtures of persons and personalities in the drive toward one objective and it is my intention to continue applying these talents to the benefit of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party.
