Thank you for sending more information regarding the Steering Committee for County Rd. E Corridor.
Why would I like to be part of this committee? Because I have an interest in the town I live in. I moved to
Arden Hills about 4 years ago from New Brighton. While living in New Brighton I served as Public
Safety Commissioner and was part of the VIPS program which is a volunteer position working with the
New Brighton Police Dept. Some responsibilities included fmger printing, Park patrol,traffic control and
any other functions we could do to help the NBPD. This should also answer the question about attending
meetings. If I take on a responsibility I commit myself to the project and attend meetings or whatever is
necessary to the best of my ability.
I retired from Deluxe Corp. were I functioned as Production Mgr. for the Marketing Group. I was
responsible for over 100 employees and several departments such as; Office operation, production
processes including printing, dark room and plate processing and bindery and shipping. Over the years I
acted as President of the Elk Grove Jaycess (Chicago area) and later as a State Director. Currently, I am
president of the Edgewater Estates Townhome Asso. in Arden Hills.In addition I served on several other
groups such as Toastmasters and several Church committees.
The skills that I can bring to this committee are: organization skills, managerial skills and listening skills.
I hope this will provide you with my background. Should you need additional information please let me
know.
Sincerely,
Dick Eckert
