(Note: All information contained on the resume is public information, will be distributed to the public and posted on the City's website). Fourteen years ago, my husband and I moved to Costa Mesa. Reflective of its demographics, we were drawn to the mix of singles, young families, long-time residents and seniors. Additionally, we found the city's offerings of programs, services, educational opportunities and involvement for young and old alike the very reasons we considered this for our home, a model community! While nearly 20% of the city's population is comprised of residents 55 and over, that statistic alone does not provide a clear picture of the importance of senior services, issues and opportunities. Our community mirrors national demographics where boomers care for their parents, grandparents raise grandchildren and seniors lead productive lives and make a difference in the city. The Costa Mesa Senior Center was established to ensure the quality of life for our seniors. Ensuring quality programs, delivery of social and health services as well as serving as a resource to the community, the senior center is key to a healthy community. As you see by the attached resume, I have made a life of community service and have demonstrated experience in the roles of commissioners and committee members. Professionally, more than 25 years in the nonprofit sector, including executive director, grant writer, fundraiser, with proven leadership, decision making and work with public, private, community and volunteer partnerships. More specifically to this Senior Commissioner position, my experience includes: Alzheimer's Association Orange County - Interfaith Committee representative and Memories in the Making trained volunteer instructor Coastline Community College - Gerontology Program Certificate and Advisory Board Member Costa Mesa Senior Center - Former Board member, volunteer and volunteer instructor As a result of the changes in leadership and operation of the Costa Mesa Senior Center, the rake of-tbe Senior Commission provides an opportunity to shape and lead the center to the forefront of the city,�as-it betemes a hub of activity and meeting the holistic needs of the seniors. —: a' t c —? r I appreciate the opportunity to submit my application, be considered for this position and to e C C=D ao f T Thank you, Charlene M.

O. Box 1200 Costa Mesa, CA 92628 Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council: I am submitting my application for an appointment to the Senior Commission because serving my community is a call to commitment to a greater cause; the cause of seniors, their quality of life and the role they play to make Costa Mesa the very best. While my involvement with seniors, to seniors and for seniors began long ago, since the formation of the Costa Mesa Senior Commission, I have not only attended but provided valuable public input at each of the meetings. Having attended -not only the Commission's strategic planning session and the Senior Advisory Leadership Panel Committee, I have been able to hear firsthand the priorities of users of the center, their concerns and their interests. If appointed to the Commission, I will work to support the current goals established by the CMSC and promote the Center through outreach in the community. I will work to strengthen partnerships with groups in our city that will increase awareness, participation and growth. Finally, if appointed, I will help support the creation of an active senior advocacy group; an idea which was an expressed goal of the commission and that of SAC leadership.

My Mother, Melva Neft, was part of the original committee to create the Senior Center. Over the years I have seen the Center functions and services deteriorate. I would like to help the City bring the Senior Center back to greatness and become a model for other communities. The Senior Center should improve the lives of Seniors and interact in the community with other organizations, such as religious organizations, colleges, libraries, and City recreational programs. The Senior Center is not be a warehouse for "old" people but should be a catalyst to keep older residents healthy and interact with the community.

I am involved with the Costa Mesa Friends of the Libraries board and our Mesa Verde Library Bookstore. I was an Electrical Engineer at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard and an officer in the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE). I was on the Executive Steering Committee at the Shipyard. was Sergeant at Arms, Financial Secretary, and Professional Unit Chair of the Local and International Vice President of the IFPTE. I was Chair of the Marine Lighting Committee of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America and participated in writing the current Marine Lighting standard.

I am a Registered Electrical Engineer in California. I completed requirements at Coastline Community College to Mediate in the California Court system. received two meritorious unit citations and two special act awards at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard. I have taken various classes at Orange Coast College (OCC) over the years to enrich my mind and body.
