023 <br />Economic Development—as Senior Director HSE, APM Terminals, I worked to develop <br />plans for building sea ports on both coasts of U.S. <br />Community organizations: Board member of the Stevens Center; Jonesboro Rotary <br />member; Education Advisory Committee Co -Chair; Past President of Seven Seas Club <br />of Sanford (Veterans group of sea service members); I participate in Highway to Healing <br />as a driver <br />I am a retired naval officer who has served on logistics ships at sea and developed <br />policy and plans for both Naval logistics and man power for Naval surface warfare <br />ships. I taught in a high school with a large population of at -risk students. I was an <br />executive in an international corporation for 6 years. I have worked to develop <br />education opportunities in my community for 15 years. I recognize that the economic <br />success of any community and quality of life depends on the quality of the local <br />workforce. I believe we need to invest in the development of that workforce so that all <br />community members have an equal opportunity to prosper. I believe the Workforce <br />Development Board is a key player in leveling the playing field for individuals that want <br />to work and also provide assistance to employers who want to develop the local <br />workforce. I feel I am qualified with my education, work experience and interest in my <br />community. I would appreciate your consideration to serve on this board. <br />rRe ectfully su�j�. <br />onald E.
