<br />Work Experience,-, I am currently employed as a Senior Manager within the Information

<br />When basic- needs of hone, food and education are met, I believe that people will have
<br />greater opportunities, to continue enhancing and improving their lives.
<br />Please state your reasons for wanting to serve on the Commission/Committee/Task Force-: I
<br />have lived in Roseville for almost five years. I am concerned about. this city and its
<br />future. I believe that the administration of an ethics code is a very important aspect of
<br />the life of this city. Thrivent has undergone a transformation in the last several years
<br />with the formal 'implementation and adoption of a new code of conduct. The formalization
<br />of this code has elevated the importance of ethics within my current working environment.
<br />The outcome at Thrivent, has included increased employee engagement, a greater focus on
<br />brand promise for Thrivent products and ethical leadership discussions. I am excited and
<br />interested in sharing this experience and my knowledge with th the Roseville community.
<br />what is your view of the rol,e, of this Commission/ Committee/Task Force?-9 In my opinion,
<br />the Ethics Commission has several important roles. First, it needs to function as a
<br />sounding, board for the community and city council. Another role is to provide consistency
<br />in the application of the ethics code. I also believe that the Ethics Commission has the
<br />responsibility
<br />to observe and, comment on the application of the ethics code. This
<br />provides an opportunity, for the Ethics Commission, to communicate concerns and issues to
<br />the Roseville City Council,. Finally, the Ethics Commission should serve as a contact
<br />point for other communities interested in creating, implementing and communicating a code
<br />of lethics.
<br />Any further information you would like the City Council to, consider or that you feel is
<br />relevant to the appointment you are seeking.:
<br />I understand that all information provided in this application, except my telephone
<br />number, fax number and email address, may be distributed by the City to the public
<br />including, but not limited to, being posted on the City of Roseville website. I agree to
