Dave is currently semi-retired, and a Business Development Consultant primarily serving the Electrical Products Industry.

Our Village has a great opportunity to grow our tax base through additional development that would provide amenities to the residents. I believe we can do this without disrupting the small-town feel, and without negatively affecting our property value. I consider it an honor to serve the village as your Councilman”.

Currently, she is now serving as Chair of Lands and Buildings, member of EDC, and Cemetery committees.
In 2002 she was active with a group of citizens to oppose the plan to consolidate 10 Reserve Units on Olde 8 Rd. Factors being, safety, environmental, location across from residents, on the School Bus route and the impact to the CVNP. The Reserve changed their plans and is located in an Industrial Park in Twinsburg. While deeply respecting the Reserve, she felt it was not an appropriate fit for the Village. She was approached after this to consider running for Council. After attending meetings in 2003 and consulting with her family she decided to run because she wanted to be of service to the village.
