HIP Election Time
SECRETARY POSITION-Samantha Greenfield
My name is Samantha Greenfield and I am running for Secretary. I have held this board position for 3 years and would love to do it again. I have a daughter in 3rd grade and a son in kinder, so we will be part of the Hesby community for a long time. I love being a part of the Hesby community--it is an incredible group of families. I feel that I have done a good job as Secretary and would love to continue. Please vote for me! Thanks.MIDDLE SCHOOL VICE PRESIDENT POSITION-Julie Bailey
My name is Julie Bailey and I will have an 8th grader and a 5th grader in the 2013 – 2014 school year. We have been at Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter since its opening in 2006. I have been involved as a volunteer, in various roles, at the school since it opened. I feel I am qualified to perform the role of Middle School Vice President because I have been working alongside the current Middle School VP this past school year. I have come to understand what is necessary to work with the Middle School teachers, to enhance the Middle School experience for our students. I am very familiar with the faculty and staff at the school, and have a good relationship with them. I have had experience organizing events and trips for the students, and believe we have had a very productive year. This position will mean moving up into more of a leadership role, but I feel I am ready, able and willing to take on this task.
TREASURER POSITION-Karen Platt
Dear Hesby Oaks community,
I am pleased to have the opportunity to run as a candidate for HIP Treasurer. I’m the proud parent of a 4th grader and 1st grader and have been a proud Hesby Oaks Parent for the past 4 years.
I am a firm believer that a good community comes from the strength of its members and you must participate to improve it – both with time and with money. I believe it is my time to contribute to my skills to HIP to continue building upon the outstanding leadership that we had this year.
By profession, I am an independent computer tech/software trainer – everything from fighting viruses to teaching QuickBooks and quicken. I am excellent on the computer and diligent with finances. I am capable of providing the necessary reports and overseeing the budget for HIP as well as writing the checks and reconciling accounts. I assist numerous households and non-profits with this on a day to day basis as well as my own business.
I look forward to this opportunity.
Karen Platt
