Nancy OBrien <br />1. What led you to want to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission? <br />I believe a strong park system is one of the defining characteristics of a <br />city that makes it a livable, safe, and enjoyable place to reside. The <br />wonderful park system of Roseville is one of the attributes that attracted <br />my husband and I to Roseville when we purchased our home here, and I <br />believe this is also true for many other folks. I feel that the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission plays a primary role in maintaining the parks as <br />the citizens would like them to be, so serving on the Commission seemed <br />a natural place to put my volunteer efforts. <br />2. What experiences from your life, your work, or your volunteer roles are most <br />relevant to the work of this Commission? <br />I have volunteered in several capacities for the Parks and Recreation <br />system I was on the 2009-2010 Citizens Advisory Team that worked on <br />the development of the Park Master Plan. I currently volunteer at the <br />Harriet Alexander Nature Center, and also on the Roseville Parks Natural <br />Resources Restoration team. <br />3. What do you want Roseville citizens and fellow Parks and Recreation <br />Commissioners to know about you? <br />I am quite passionate about keeping the plantings in our parks and our <br />yard as free as possible from invasive species, and returning them to <br />native trees and plants. <br />I am retired from the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, where I served as a <br />social worker in mental health, the Women Veterans Coordinator, and at <br />the end of my career there, the Compliance Officer. <br />16 <br /> <br />
