WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS CAN YOU MAKE OR STATE REASON FOR APPLYING: As a Dubuque native with two young children, and a long time card carrying member of the library, I feel I have a personal stake in helping further develop the community. From a financial management and fund-raising standpoint, I am part of an experienced local banking department with an excellent record of accomplishment working with a multitude of charitable and non-profit organizations. I feel my current position as well as previous experiences, coupled with my enthusiasm for art and literature, can provide an "end-user" perspective to, not only the library and its board, but the greater Dubuque community as well. ti LIST TWO REFERENCES: NAME: Polly Hauser NAME: Jim Osterberger ADDRESS: 907 Farrell Ct ADDRESS: 656 Alta Vista St Specific attention should be directed to possible conflict of interest.

Miller Attachment to Ubrary Board of Trustees Application September 22, 2008 Reasons for applying: I began using the library around age 7 and I consider it almost a sacred resource. At present, I use the library often, and am involved with several programs there. I have friends and acquaintances among the library staff and management, and regulazly talk to them to keep in touch with what's happening with projects, programs, trends, policies and practices, etc. New, I'm at the stage in life where I wish to take the "tons" of broad work and life experiences I've been blessed with and "pass it on and give something bac1~' to the people and the community where I was born and raised. My goals are to promote usage, to educate and encourage all our citizens people who can learn, grow with, and enjoy this major public resource--to take full advantage of the library. I have great respect for the current Board of Trustees, who have done a good job in leading the growth and facing the challenges that we've seen over recent years, and I feel we can do even better going forward with the kind of progressive spirit and talented leadership that we're currently blessed with (not only on the library Boazd, but moreover in City government and City Council leadership as well). I have met with Diane Gunns and David Hammer to discuss these ideas and my goals, and I'm eager to pitch in (first as a "junior" member) to add value and to represent the people's trust, interests, and sustainability now and in the future. I plan to attend future Board meetings regardless of my status. Contributions: I have 30+ years experience in the business world as a writer, technical communicator, project and management consultant, trainer, and business systems analyst, as well as marketing and sales experience. A few more recent examples of consulting employers/clients include Coca Cola, Detroit Edison, MBNA credit card processors -Dallas, Mercedes-Benz of North America, plus major telecornm providers (e.g., SBC, Ameritech), world's largest international banking firms (HSBC, Northern Trust, Household International), five years with largest European consulting firm (CAP Gemini) and ten years with my own company based out of Chicago. I also have over ten years volunteer work/experience (awazded my 1,200-hours pin!) at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC the world's leading rehab hospital) in many different roles including child therapy, adaptive sports (skiing, swimming, rock climbing), patient relations, rehabilitated role model, medical school and reseazch subject, accessibility and employment advocate, and board-of- directors positions including Chairman of the RIC Volunteer Advisory Committee for five years. Since moving back to Dubuque about three years ago, I have become heavily involved with lower- income groups and neighborhood associations (with a special focus on reaching youths), and I have a strong interest and belief that involvement at the grass-roots level "face-to-face" works best to help improve our community for all its citizens. The diverse range of my Dubuque friends and acquaintances spans low-income to the wealthy, providing a pretty broad scope on concerns, issues, and positions. (One of my best friends, for example, is a former Mayor and professional azchitect who is a tremendous resource for "wise counsel" regazding history, politics, and expert advice on construction projects and management.) As a publisher for neighborhood association newsletters, I regulazly meet with neighbors and City staffto reseazch various articles, in addition to doing lots of photography azound town. To sum up: I feel my over-all knowledge, skills, and experience would be a "good fit" on the Board of Trustees team, and would add value there as Dubuque continues its fantastic rejuvenation!
