Specifically, I am encouraging your support for Marianne Virgili!<\/p>\n<p>Marianne Virgili is highly accomplished. I had the benefit of working side by side with Marianne during her final years as President of the Glenwood Springs Chamber of Commerce. Marianne is a dynamic leader and extremely passionate about the Glenwood Springs community. She is also a passionate supporter of, and advocate for, Colorado Mountain College. There is a tremendous amount of history between the Chamber and CMC. I cannot think of a more qualified and passionate individual to join the CMC Board. Marianne has inspired many people, including myself, and would bring a wealth of knowledge and experience and of course passion to CMC. Marianne believes strongly in education as evidenced by her Chamber career as well as a teacher at the U.S. Chamber\u2019s Institute for Organizational Management for 20 years, serving as National Chair in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons and many more, I believe Marianne Virgili would be the best addition to the Colorado Mountain College Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n<p> Ian Exelbert,<br \/>Glenwood Springs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Value Larson\u2019s solution based leadership style<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I support Shane Larson for re-election to the RFSD Board of Education. Shane and I have worked together on the Board of Education for almost four years, with Shane holding the Vice Chair seat for the past two. As the Board Chair, I value Shane\u2019s stewardship, his tenacity and his solution based leadership style. He has put in a great deal of time learning the role of a school board member; and, his knowledge of policy and process is remarkable. Shane\u2019s continuity on the board would ensure a seamless transition as we welcome two new members onto the board this November.<\/p>\n<p> Jen Rupert,<br \/>Snowmass<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/opinion\/saturday-letters-endorsements-for-marianne-virgili-and-shane-larson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virgili would bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and passion to CMC As the Chair of the Glenwood Springs Chamber Association, I want to encourage you to vote in the upcoming election.
