Vernon identifies problems and seeks solutions
Reprinted from The Gazette, Friday, October 19, 2007, page 4A

I met Monica Vernon through a volunteer organization more than 15 years ago and was immediately impressed by her ability to quickly and unerringly identify the precise issues and challenges needing resolution. Once she identified those issues, she pressed forward with actions to accomplish our goals.

She has a communityminded and proactive sense about what needs to happen now and in the future to make ours a better community.

Just as importantly, she has the reservoir of energy, the attitude and desire to follow through and bring the best ideas for the city into effect.
