Why are you running for election to the Midway City Sanitary District Board of Directors?

By Vivian Kirkpatrick-Pilger

Sadly, Board President James "V." Jim Evans passed away in December 2003. I am running to complete his unexpired term. In the election of 2002, Jim Evans endorsed my candidacy for the Midway City Sanitary district.

My qualifications are:

• I am a community activist, Administrator, and have a 31 year working career of continuous analysis, decision making and management.
• I'm "home grown" my family moved to Westminster when I was 2 years old.
• I attended Westminster schools and Graduated from Westminster High School.
• I have attended Goldenwest College, Santa Ana College and UC Irvine Extension
• I have worked at the University of California, Irvine for the past 24 years and have been a department manager for the past 14 years.
• I worked at the Orange County Transit for 4 years as the Sr. Aide to the Assistant General Manager.
• I worked at the Naval Air Station in Los Alamitos for 3 years as a purchasing assistant.
• I have 12 years of experience as the Treasurer and President of a homeowners association, and have established and maintained a well funded reserve account.
• I am the President of the Citizens for Government Accountability, Inc.
• I served on the City of Westminster's Community Advisory Group and on the Infrastructure Committee.
• My husband and I have been married for 11 years and have owned our current home in Westminster for 11 years.
• In 1978 & 79 I helped to distribute flyers and worked on my mother's campaign when she was elected as the FIRST WOMAN to ever hold a seat on this board, (Jane Kirkpatrick)- she was subsequently elected to successive terms serving a total of 14 years until her death in 1993. She and Jim Evans layed the groundwork for the success of today's MCSD.
• I have a 26 year historical perspective of the Midway City Sanitary District and would like to contribute to its continued success.

On November 2; please vote for me! VIVIAN KIRKPATRICK-PILGER
