Editor,
I would like to take this opportunity to present Jill Southerland, candidate to represent Ward 2 on our City Council. I have had the opportunity to work with Jill during the last four-to-five years and I consider her to be one of the most competent people I have ever had the experience of working with during my 30-plus years in management. I have seen first-hand Jill’s ability to listen to all sides, analyze the different points of view and make a recommendation on how to move forward towards a solution. An open communicator, Jill relates well with people.
Jill’s experience includes:
• Four years on the La Crescenta City Council, a community of more than 20,000 homes.
• Two years as the general manager of a homeowners association for 1,500 homes and condos.
• Seven years serving on a homeowners’ association board
• 33 years in education as an education teacher for gifted children and as a college professor and program administrator.
Jill earned a bachelors degree in education, a masters degree in human development and a doctorate in education and human development.
I am confident that Jill’s experience and education make her an outstanding candidate to not only represent Ward 2 on our City Council, but to also serve the people of Polson in general. She and her husband Mike love calling Polson their home and look forward to many more good years here. They want a place their children and grandchildren enjoy visiting and will perhaps someday make it their home, too.
I strongly recommend you vote for Jill Southerland to represent Ward 2 on our Polson City Council.
