9/13/99 <br /> To Economic Development Member Search Committee, <br /> I am writing in response to your advertisement for additional members for the <br /> Centerville's Economic Development Committee. <br /> My husband and I have owned a home in Centerville for the past four years and are <br /> parents of a student at Centerville Elementary. I see value in contributing to the <br /> community I live in and have been waiting for an opportunity for involvement that would <br /> utilize my skills, interest and experience. <br /> My experience consists of twelve years of employment working with management and <br /> labor. In my position as an Employment Counselor for Ramsey County my interests and <br /> job duty is in serving the needs of my two customers employers and job seekers. In that <br /> role I have facilitated and developed training for both customers in such topics as self - <br /> management techniques, problem solving, conflict resolution, and career development. I <br /> have also been directly involved; in labor management negotiations, mergers, <br /> reorganization and down - sizing of large to small companies, recruitment and retainment <br /> of exempt and non - exempt employees. I have a working knowledge of employment law <br /> and human resource needs. The customers who have accessed our services have utilized <br /> Federal, State, County, local government and community funds. I am familiar with and <br /> understand the importance of accessing funding for development. <br /> Having served on several committees and projects in my career, often these undertakings <br /> have been innovative and have resulted in better services for employers, job seekers, and <br /> the community. While involved I demonstrated dedication, energy and professionalism. <br /> It is my desire to serve in the same fashion to the City of Centerville. I do not have <br /> predetermined ideas of how to meet all of the economic needs of our community, but <br /> would promise to bring the creativity, dedication, enthusiasm and workforce knowledge 1 <br /> offer to my current and past endeavors. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at work or at home if you would like further explanation or <br /> clarification of my background or interest to serve. Thank you in advance for considering <br /> this request to be a formal participant in the economical growth of Centerville. <br /> Sinoerelv. <br /> `e /4-- <br /> Betsy icheller <br /> (651) 653 -9846 Home <br /> (651) 779-5279 Work <br />
