Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * My Story Introduction Despite tremendous social pressure on women in Sudan to stay silent, I've known since I was a child it was important to break the silence and speak out. It was important to become educated and empowered and then to encourage other women to do the same. I founded Haraza Organization for Peace and Development for Women's Empowerment (HOPD) that put me on the front lines assisting and empowering survivors of genocide in Darfur. Through my organization in Sudan . I trained women internally displaced (IDP) by the violence from 2003 to 2012 to participate in all levels of decision -making, including in the home, school, social, religious and political. Collaborations with international non -governmental organizations (INGO's) like United Nations Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), the World Food Program WFP and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) allowed me to channel funding to build health clinics, schools and water pumps for desperate villagers, and to provide food, clothing and basic services to women and children in IDP camps. These INGO's and others allowed me to produce a training manual and workshops that prepared IDP women to actively participate in the Abuja and Doha Peace Talks in 2006 and 2010. I was known for my persistence as the "Iron Lady." Sadly, I was forced into exile after armed Sudanese security forces threatened to kill me for speaking out about violence against women as a tool of the genocidal war in Darfur. While attending an international peace conference, I had shared horrible stories of women I met, like the mother and daughter who had been horribly raped and mutilated in front of each other. These stories reached the International Criminal Court (ICC) and became evidence included in the indictment of Sudanese President Omar al Bashir for War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and finally, Genocide. Early Life & Education I was born in Nyala, South Darfur, in Sudan on July 21, 1982 into an activist family of politicians committed to freedom. Many of my brothers and sisters worked for justice. Yet, from early on I witnessed discrimination in my family. My father had a high school education, my mother had none, and I could see the difference that made. The boys and men got attention, education, resources and support. Girls, including me, were submitted to female genital mutilation (FGM) and women experienced a lack of appreciation and opportunity. My father wanted me to get married young, but I was inspired by my older sisters who were educated. I insisted on going to school like them. I was so grateful my sisters helped me to get on that track that I knew I eventually wanted to pass it on to others. In 1999 I moved to Khartoum to study at the prestigious Khartoum University. Although I wanted to become a doctor, that path was not open to me because I was a Darfurian woman. I studied and got my BA degree from the College of Public and Environmental Health in 2002. At this time Darfurians were being targeted in Khartoum, so it was impossible for me to get a job. War in Darfur Despite the Darfurians best efforts to get the Government of Sudan (GoS) to provide basic services in areas like roads, electricity, drinking water, education and health, the central government in Khartoum did little to develop Darfur. People who spoke out or organized were imprisoned, tortured, killed and forced into exile. Once the Sudanese Air force started bombing villages, we lived in tear tor our lives. In 2003, a Darturian rebel group struck back, attacking El Fashir airport. They destroyed some of the planes that were used to bomb villages. In response, the government of Sudan initiated a campaign of terror. They increased their bombing of villages, training and arming militias called the Janjaweed. Darfurian men and children were killed; women were brutally raped; crops and stores of food were destroyed, and animals were slaughtered. Survivors fled as their villages burned to the ground, escaping with only those items they could carry on their backs. So many villages were demolished that soon refugees flooded the cities, seeking safety, shelter, food and medical care. Children arrived malnourished and died in their mothers' arms. Those of us who lived in cities faced a wall of discrimination that blocked Darfurians from getting jobs. Darfurian men had no avenues open to them and were channeled into the armed forces or local police forces. The GoS pushed our men to serve in the very group that was destroying us. Men who didn't follow this path became idle and frustrated, the most capable went to college in Khartoum, while others went into exile or joined the rebels. Women and children were left without their men. Amid such suffering, Darfurians became a miserable people. Establishing Haraza Organization for Peace and Development (HOPD) In 2002 I was seeing women and children trying to deal with the outbreak of civil war in Darfur. I decided to found the Haraza Organization for Peace and Development for Women's Empowerment. I named my non- governmental organization (NGO) after a tree called a haraza. This tree is dry in spring and stores water for the dry season. When no other trees have leaves or fruit or provide shade, the haraza offers solace. I formed a board that helped set goals and implement programs to help the victims. Haraza received funding from, and worked with, the international aid agencies listed above and groups from the European Union. Haraza worked in numerous camps; Kalma, Ottach, Derig and Salaam camps. There was so much need. Here are our areas of focus: • Providing for urgent needs: food, shelter, clothing • Capacity building workshops * Health education, HIV prevention and care * Violence Against Women (VAW) and Gender Based Violence (GBV) * Income Generating Activities • Training IDP women to be leaders in their communities * Peace Culture and Peace Building * Psychosocial support for women traumatized from rapes and witnessing the deaths of loved ones * Support for women prisoners • Training IDP women to understand their rights provided for under UNSC Resolution 1325 * Prepare women to participate in peace keeping * Trained IDP women to attend and participate in the Abuja Peace Talks (2006) and the Doha Peace Conference (2011) I collaborated with UNIFEM and made a training manual on Conflict Resolution and Negotiating Skills for Peace Building and Decision Making for IDP Women Leaders in South Darfur. We organized a ten day training to make sure women leaders got what they needed to participate in the ongoing peace talks. They contributed fresh, workable solutions to seemingly intractable struggles. This training was essential to ensure women's involvement in mechanisms that could prevent conflict, stop war and stabilize regions damaged by warfare. The workshop goals were: 1) To build skills for decision -making, leadership, negotiation and conflict resolution, 2) To involve displaced women in the negotiation process side by side with men and 3) To introduce UNSC 1325 and other international protections for women's rights in the context of the war in Darfur. Although the GoS Security forces barred me from attending the peace talks, I trained over 250 women and 50 men; sending thirty IDP women to actively participate in these high level negotiations. The Government Arrests Me For My Work The war in Darfur spread, eventually leaving over 4,000 villages burnt to the ground, over 300,000 people dead and nearly half the population of 6 million internally displaced, living in camps lacking every necessity, including security from attack. In 2008 ICC indicted Omar Al Bashir on War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and eventually charged him with the crime of Genocide. The GoS then expelled many of the most effective international aid agencies and began a campaign to find and get rid of anyone suspected of providing evidence to the ICC — either by killing them or forcing them into exile. I 1nrac nna of thnca tarnatari Ac a rnncaniianra of my uinrk in tha ramnc %nrith internatinnal airs ananriac 11nrac harassed, arrested, tortured, given death threats and eventually had to flee for my life. Here's why: With the international aid agencies gone, the Government of Sudan (GoS) soldiers and Janjaweed militias reignited their campaign of terror, kidnapping, raping, beating and harassing women in the camps. Everyone was afraid because there was no protection. In that moment of fear I recorded a letter of appeal for help to First Lady Michelle Obama. See link: To Michelle Obama from Wifag Ibrahim Widaa of Darfur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlfyoLEQaKI This international appeal put my life at risk. One day, armed security forces stopped a women's empowerment training I was leading and arrested me. They violently interrogated me, accusing me of providing information to U.S. aid agencies that gave my testimony to the ICC. They questioned me about my involvement in training workshops, asked who my funders were, all the while threatening to kill me. I thought they were going to kill me then and there. I was terrified. Actually, I had indeed provided evidence that was submitted to the ICC. In early 2008 I had met Wanda Atkins at an international symposium on women's roles in resolving the conflict in Darfur in Kampala, Uganda. Wanda worked with International Justice Project (IJP) and took the stories I told about what I had witnessed in Darfur and gave that as evidence to the ICC. Aftermath and Continued Death Threats Three days after the first interrogation I bought a ticket to Khartoum, but I was arrested at the airport. I was detained in the security forces office there and questioned in an intimidating way about where I was going and why. I lied. I said I was going on vacation, when actually I was planning to attend a UNIFEM conference in Khartoum. I was carrying the training manual I edited and used when I trained IDP women to participate in the Doha Peace Conference (described above). The security forces accused me of wanting to go to a training workshop and said they were confiscating my manual. They insisted I could not take my training manual or get on the plane. I insisted it was within my rights to have the manual and fly to Khartoum. A local government official I knew happened to be at the airport, and he saw me detained. He intervened to advocate for me. He convinced them to let us board the plane. I got on the plane for Khartoum with my manual and attended the UNIFEM Conference. After a month, I returned to Nyala from Khartoum. When I finally tried to go back to work, I discovered the security forces had shut down the Haraza office. Soon after this, Janjaweed began following me. This was a very dangerous situation for me. One day they approached me while I was parked in my car. They ordered me out of my car, which I knew meant they were going to kidnap me. I knew what these armed men were capable of. I'd heard about their brutal rapes; I had seen women mutilated by having their throats slit or bones broken. I'd seen women ostracized and suffering with fistulas and psychological trauma. They tried to grab me with their guns pointed at my head, but I rolled the window up and locked my doors, refusing to get out of the car. They could kill me right there, on a street in Nyala, but I wasn't going with them. I saw a man I knew in a nearby park and signaled him to come over. I explained what was going on and asked him to drive my car. He got in and took the wheel. After another attempt by the Janjaweed to grab me, the man drove off and got me out of their reach to safety. At this point, I knew I MUST immediately leave. I left my family, my work and my country to arrive in the United States in June 2011. I now have been granted asylum. At this point it may look like those who are responsible for so much suffering in Darfur are winning: • President Omar Al Bashir remains free even though he has been charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide by the ICC • Peace talks have not stopped the violence • Hundreds of doctors, human rights and women rights advocates, journalists and others who spoke out for justice or simply told the truth about what's happening in Darfur have been killed, imprisoned or forced into exile I'm quite sad I can't at this time return to Darfur to continue my work with Haraza, yet I cannot let things stand as they are. With the women of Darfur in my heart, I would like to work with the United Nations to continue the trainings I was doing with the women IDP's inside Darfur, but now, perhaps, do it with Darfurian women refugees living in Chad. I would like to expand my understanding of women's roles in the peace building process and be a part of post -conflict reconstruction.

Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * Racism has been at the forefront of my mind since high school, where my junior or senior year I was in the principal's office for defending my friend, one of the only Mexican girls in the school after she was insulted and spat on. Before that, I watched a group of kids participate in a weekly racist march down the hallway, well known as "white power Wednesdays". They wore blue jeans and a white t-shirt and a grin as they walked together as a group down the halls each Wednesday. This was Hempstead High School in Dubuque, Iowa, in 2006. Later in life, I married the most beautiful human being, a Mexican girl, who opened my mind to so many new and beautiful experiences and people. I was scared to try chorizo before her. She took me to a drag queen show for my birthday. She introduced me and helped me befriend gay people and convinced me to wear a homemade glitter and rainbow t-shirt for 'Pride'. Now, my children are half -Mexican and when Trump was elected, I was terrified for the direction our country was headed. Most of all, the racial outbursts he was inspiring in elementary schools during his campaign. I watched as minorities were blamed for other people's problems. Throughout his presidency, I've stood by and avoided multiple altercations as white people around me spoke abhorrently about minorities, whom I married, and became friends and family with so many others. I stood by to avoid a fistfight, to avoid losing jobs, and the list goes on - but that is what the Black Lives Matter movement opened my eyes to - the need to stop avoiding conflict and embrace it for anything to ever change. To take a stance and stop being silent and "safely neutral" especially when someone speaks hate in my presence. So what do all of my personal anecdotes have to do with what is happening now? A lifelong observation of xenophobia - a word I heavily researched in college as a Sociology major. There was a lot of racism where I grew up, towards Blacks, Mexicans, Gay people, and anyone different. I've had a lot of time to reflect and analyze everything I experienced. Here's the key: Something happens when you are exposed and not just exposed to but interact and build relationships with people who are different than you. When you meet people from other cultures around the world or people here in the States that live differently than you. Whether they are poor or rich, black or brown, gay or straight. When you get to know them, you realize we are all just humans, we all want the same things in life: equality, love, safety, and opportunity. I want to help educate others and their children. I want people to get to know someone that makes them uncomfortable. To get outside their comfort zone and stop being fearful and speak up. To help create a world of joy for ourselves, our neighbors, and our community. I am invested in becoming engrained in the Iowa City community and part of that includes volunteering for good causes and being actively involved in local politics. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?* I know the position is available and that I would do my best. I understand the layers of government and the role these committees play in the bigger picture, and that we work with the Council and advise but certainly do not have authority.

Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * My Story Introduction Despite tremendous social pressure on women in Sudan to stay silent, I've known since I was a child it was important to break the silence and speak out. It was important to become educated and empowered and then to encourage other women to do the same. I founded Haraza Organization for Peace and Development for Women's Empowerment (HOPD) that put me on the front lines assisting and empowering survivors of genocide in Darfur. Through my organization in Sudan . I trained women internally displaced (IDP) by the violence from 2003 to 2012 to participate in all levels of decision -making, including in the home, school, social, religious and political. Collaborations with international non -governmental organizations (INGO's) like United Nations Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), the World Food Program WFP and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) allowed me to channel funding to build health clinics, schools and water pumps for desperate villagers, and to provide food, clothing and basic services to women and children in IDP camps. These INGO's and others allowed me to produce a training manual and workshops that prepared IDP women to actively participate in the Abuja and Doha Peace Talks in 2006 and 2010. I was known for my persistence as the "Iron Lady." Sadly, I was forced into exile after armed Sudanese security forces threatened to kill me for speaking out about violence against women as a tool of the genocidal war in Darfur. While attending an international peace conference, I had shared horrible stories of women I met, like the mother and daughter who had been horribly raped and mutilated in front of each other. These stories reached the International Criminal Court (ICC) and became evidence included in the indictment of Sudanese President Omar al Bashir for War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and finally, Genocide. Early Life & Education I was born in Nyala, South Darfur, in Sudan on July 21, 1982 into an activist family of politicians committed to freedom. Many of my brothers and sisters worked for justice. Yet, from early on I witnessed discrimination in my family. My father had a high school education, my mother had none, and I could see the difference that made. The boys and men got attention, education, resources and support. Girls, including me, were submitted to female genital mutilation (FGM) and women experienced a lack of appreciation and opportunity. My father wanted me to get married young, but I was inspired by my older sisters who were educated. I insisted on going to school like them. I was so grateful my sisters helped me to get on that track that I knew I eventually wanted to pass it on to others. In 1999 I moved to Khartoum to study at the prestigious Khartoum University. Although I wanted to become a doctor, that path was not open to me because I was a Darfurian woman. I studied and got my BA degree from the College of Public and Environmental Health in 2002. At this time Darfurians were being targeted in Khartoum, so it was impossible for me to get a job. War in Darfur Despite the Darfurians best efforts to get the Government of Sudan (GoS) to provide basic services in areas like roads, electricity, drinking water, education and health, the central government in Khartoum did little to develop Darfur. People who spoke out or organized were imprisoned, tortured, killed and forced into exile. Once the Sudanese Air force started bombing villages, we lived in tear tor our lives. In 2003, a Darturian rebel group struck back, attacking El Fashir airport. They destroyed some of the planes that were used to bomb villages. In response, the government of Sudan initiated a campaign of terror. They increased their bombing of villages, training and arming militias called the Janjaweed. Darfurian men and children were killed; women were brutally raped; crops and stores of food were destroyed, and animals were slaughtered. Survivors fled as their villages burned to the ground, escaping with only those items they could carry on their backs. So many villages were demolished that soon refugees flooded the cities, seeking safety, shelter, food and medical care. Children arrived malnourished and died in their mothers' arms. Those of us who lived in cities faced a wall of discrimination that blocked Darfurians from getting jobs. Darfurian men had no avenues open to them and were channeled into the armed forces or local police forces. The GoS pushed our men to serve in the very group that was destroying us. Men who didn't follow this path became idle and frustrated, the most capable went to college in Khartoum, while others went into exile or joined the rebels. Women and children were left without their men. Amid such suffering, Darfurians became a miserable people. Establishing Haraza Organization for Peace and Development (HOPD) In 2002 I was seeing women and children trying to deal with the outbreak of civil war in Darfur. I decided to found the Haraza Organization for Peace and Development for Women's Empowerment. I named my non- governmental organization (NGO) after a tree called a haraza. This tree is dry in spring and stores water for the dry season. When no other trees have leaves or fruit or provide shade, the haraza offers solace. I formed a board that helped set goals and implement programs to help the victims. Haraza received funding from, and worked with, the international aid agencies listed above and groups from the European Union. Haraza worked in numerous camps; Kalma, Ottach, Derig and Salaam camps. There was so much need. Here are our areas of focus: • Providing for urgent needs: food, shelter, clothing • Capacity building workshops * Health education, HIV prevention and care * Violence Against Women (VAW) and Gender Based Violence (GBV) * Income Generating Activities • Training IDP women to be leaders in their communities * Peace Culture and Peace Building * Psychosocial support for women traumatized from rapes and witnessing the deaths of loved ones * Support for women prisoners • Training IDP women to understand their rights provided for under UNSC Resolution 1325 * Prepare women to participate in peace keeping * Trained IDP women to attend and participate in the Abuja Peace Talks (2006) and the Doha Peace Conference (2011) I collaborated with UNIFEM and made a training manual on Conflict Resolution and Negotiating Skills for Peace Building and Decision Making for IDP Women Leaders in South Darfur. We organized a ten day training to make sure women leaders got what they needed to participate in the ongoing peace talks. They contributed fresh, workable solutions to seemingly intractable struggles. This training was essential to ensure women's involvement in mechanisms that could prevent conflict, stop war and stabilize regions damaged by warfare. The workshop goals were: 1) To build skills for decision -making, leadership, negotiation and conflict resolution, 2) To involve displaced women in the negotiation process side by side with men and 3) To introduce UNSC 1325 and other international protections for women's rights in the context of the war in Darfur. Although the GoS Security forces barred me from attending the peace talks, I trained over 250 women and 50 men; sending thirty IDP women to actively participate in these high level negotiations. The Government Arrests Me For My Work The war in Darfur spread, eventually leaving over 4,000 villages burnt to the ground, over 300,000 people dead and nearly half the population of 6 million internally displaced, living in camps lacking every necessity, including security from attack. In 2008 ICC indicted Omar Al Bashir on War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and eventually charged him with the crime of Genocide. The GoS then expelled many of the most effective international aid agencies and began a campaign to find and get rid of anyone suspected of providing evidence to the ICC — either by killing them or forcing them into exile. I 1nrac nna of thnca tarnatari Ac a rnncaniianra of my uinrk in tha ramnc %nrith internatinnal airs ananriac 11nrac harassed, arrested, tortured, given death threats and eventually had to flee for my life. Here's why: With the international aid agencies gone, the Government of Sudan (GoS) soldiers and Janjaweed militias reignited their campaign of terror, kidnapping, raping, beating and harassing women in the camps. Everyone was afraid because there was no protection. In that moment of fear I recorded a letter of appeal for help to First Lady Michelle Obama. See link: To Michelle Obama from Wifag Ibrahim Widaa of Darfur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlfyoLEQaKI This international appeal put my life at risk. One day, armed security forces stopped a women's empowerment training I was leading and arrested me. They violently interrogated me, accusing me of providing information to U.S. aid agencies that gave my testimony to the ICC. They questioned me about my involvement in training workshops, asked who my funders were, all the while threatening to kill me. I thought they were going to kill me then and there. I was terrified. Actually, I had indeed provided evidence that was submitted to the ICC. In early 2008 I had met Wanda Atkins at an international symposium on women's roles in resolving the conflict in Darfur in Kampala, Uganda. Wanda worked with International Justice Project (IJP) and took the stories I told about what I had witnessed in Darfur and gave that as evidence to the ICC. Aftermath and Continued Death Threats Three days after the first interrogation I bought a ticket to Khartoum, but I was arrested at the airport. I was detained in the security forces office there and questioned in an intimidating way about where I was going and why. I lied. I said I was going on vacation, when actually I was planning to attend a UNIFEM conference in Khartoum. I was carrying the training manual I edited and used when I trained IDP women to participate in the Doha Peace Conference (described above). The security forces accused me of wanting to go to a training workshop and said they were confiscating my manual. They insisted I could not take my training manual or get on the plane. I insisted it was within my rights to have the manual and fly to Khartoum. A local government official I knew happened to be at the airport, and he saw me detained. He intervened to advocate for me. He convinced them to let us board the plane. I got on the plane for Khartoum with my manual and attended the UNIFEM Conference. After a month, I returned to Nyala from Khartoum. When I finally tried to go back to work, I discovered the security forces had shut down the Haraza office. Soon after this, Janjaweed began following me. This was a very dangerous situation for me. One day they approached me while I was parked in my car. They ordered me out of my car, which I knew meant they were going to kidnap me. I knew what these armed men were capable of. I'd heard about their brutal rapes; I had seen women mutilated by having their throats slit or bones broken. I'd seen women ostracized and suffering with fistulas and psychological trauma. They tried to grab me with their guns pointed at my head, but I rolled the window up and locked my doors, refusing to get out of the car. They could kill me right there, on a street in Nyala, but I wasn't going with them. I saw a man I knew in a nearby park and signaled him to come over. I explained what was going on and asked him to drive my car. He got in and took the wheel. After another attempt by the Janjaweed to grab me, the man drove off and got me out of their reach to safety. At this point, I knew I MUST immediately leave. I left my family, my work and my country to arrive in the United States in June 2011. I now have been granted asylum. At this point it may look like those who are responsible for so much suffering in Darfur are winning: • President Omar Al Bashir remains free even though he has been charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide by the ICC • Peace talks have not stopped the violence • Hundreds of doctors, human rights and women rights advocates, journalists and others who spoke out for justice or simply told the truth about what's happening in Darfur have been killed, imprisoned or forced into exile I'm quite sad I can't at this time return to Darfur to continue my work with Haraza, yet I cannot let things stand as they are. With the women of Darfur in my heart, I would like to work with the United Nations to continue the trainings I was doing with the women IDP's inside Darfur, but now, perhaps, do it with Darfurian women refugees living in Chad. I would like to expand my understanding of women's roles in the peace building process and be a part of post -conflict reconstruction.

Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * Racism has been at the forefront of my mind since high school, where my junior or senior year I was in the principal's office for defending my friend, one of the only Mexican girls in the school after she was insulted and spat on. Before that, I watched a group of kids participate in a weekly racist march down the hallway, well known as "white power Wednesdays". They wore blue jeans and a white t-shirt and a grin as they walked together as a group down the halls each Wednesday. This was Hempstead High School in Dubuque, Iowa, in 2006. Later in life, I married the most beautiful human being, a Mexican girl, who opened my mind to so many new and beautiful experiences and people. I was scared to try chorizo before her. She took me to a drag queen show for my birthday. She introduced me and helped me befriend gay people and convinced me to wear a homemade glitter and rainbow t-shirt for 'Pride'. Now, my children are half -Mexican and when Trump was elected, I was terrified for the direction our country was headed. Most of all, the racial outbursts he was inspiring in elementary schools during his campaign. I watched as minorities were blamed for other people's problems. Throughout his presidency, I've stood by and avoided multiple altercations as white people around me spoke abhorrently about minorities, whom I married, and became friends and family with so many others. I stood by to avoid a fistfight, to avoid losing jobs, and the list goes on - but that is what the Black Lives Matter movement opened my eyes to - the need to stop avoiding conflict and embrace it for anything to ever change. To take a stance and stop being silent and "safely neutral" especially when someone speaks hate in my presence. So what do all of my personal anecdotes have to do with what is happening now? A lifelong observation of xenophobia - a word I heavily researched in college as a Sociology major. There was a lot of racism where I grew up, towards Blacks, Mexicans, Gay people, and anyone different. I've had a lot of time to reflect and analyze everything I experienced. Here's the key: Something happens when you are exposed and not just exposed to but interact and build relationships with people who are different than you. When you meet people from other cultures around the world or people here in the States that live differently than you. Whether they are poor or rich, black or brown, gay or straight. When you get to know them, you realize we are all just humans, we all want the same things in life: equality, love, safety, and opportunity. I want to help educate others and their children. I want people to get to know someone that makes them uncomfortable. To get outside their comfort zone and stop being fearful and speak up. To help create a world of joy for ourselves, our neighbors, and our community. I am invested in becoming engrained in the Iowa City community and part of that includes volunteering for good causes and being actively involved in local politics. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?* I know the position is available and that I would do my best. I understand the layers of government and the role these committees play in the bigger picture, and that we work with the Council and advise but certainly do not have authority.

Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * My experience surrounds marrying into a family that has three generations living within Iowa City. When I came to the city, I began by using the bike trails around town. As I grew into the father of an active three -year -old and a 6-month-old, I find myself busy at the various parks and pools throughout Iowa City on a weekly basis. During the first two summers of the Pandemic, Glendale park became our little oasis near our house on Morningside. Our winter evenings are dominated by going to the pools at Mercer or Lee. Even though we look forward to both of our daughters utilizing the youth programs as they get older, I have a 10 and eight -year -old niece and nephew who get a fair understanding of their needs and wants in the community. Finally, I have a 68 and 79-year-old mother- and father-in-law that utilize the various senior offerings in the community. Living near multiple generations in the community keeps me an understanding of the various needs of many different generational perspectives. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?* I grew up with an uncle that was second in command of the parks and rec department in Plano, Texas. Talking to him throughout my life gave me a fair idea of the coming and goings of the parks and recreation department. I understand the committee's job is primarily as an advisory role to the City Council. As unelected advisors, we are another layer to provide advice and ideas on how to improve and sustain the parks and recreation department. At the end of the day, we may have specific thoughts but the end decision on any policy surrounding the parks and recreation ultimately rests on the City Council.

"Gender Identity" may be provided in the Demographics sectionof the application below. Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * I think my background as an educator teaching a variety of students could help me for this position. I have taught ESL in trailer courts, tutored writing with incarcerated students at Oakdale Prison, and taught English in Spain for 7+ years. I have experience trying to understand how a variety of people best learn, and I think this has helped to make me an empathetic, respectful and thoughtful --for the most part --person. I grew up in Iowa City and so I do care deeply about what it grows into. (The one downfall of this is that I may be reluctant to change. But I suspect serving on this board would help me to expand my thinking in this way.) My student teaching experience was in an underserved classroom at City High. The students were from the south side of Chicago, the Congo, Guatemala, and Mexico. As a member of Parks and Rec, I would love to imagine with fellow board members how we might initiate more community activities which facilitate inclusion of these underserved populations into "main stream" Iowa City. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?* Pretty sure that members of the board of Parks and Recreation watch that TV sitcom Parks And Rec. and quiz each other on it, right? :) Just kidding, of course. : ) My present knowledge of the Parks and Rec. advisory board is not extensive, unfortunately. I know that we would meet as a board to discuss imaginative solutions for meeting the needs of our community members' parks, pools, and cultural facilities. For Wednesday's public meetings, I imagine we would listen attentively to community members' concerns, take notes, and brainstorm and research possible solutions.

I've participated in the City's neighborhood association and attend the Summer of the Arts and Music in the Park activities, to name a few. Iowa City is a great community and our parks and rec programs greatly contribute to this culture.

Male Female Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: * My educational- and work backgrounds, in addition to my art writing and experience as a current member of the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) make me qualified to continue serving on the committee as at at -large member. By training, I am an historian of American art and architecture, focusing on vernacular architecture and material culture. I am fortunate to work in arts administration as the Director of Engagement at Summer of the Arts, a nonprofit organization that produces both large-scale music and arts festivals and smaller neighborhood music events across Iowa City. All of our programming is free of charge and thus accessible to all community members. Similarly, the art projects supported by PAAC provide funding for different types of art installations, sculptures, murals, and performances that are publicly accessible and free of charge. I also write about visual art in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids for Little Village Magazine. My goal is to spotlight and celebrate art in our community in order to encouraging the community to view different types of art and demystify the process of engaging with visual art. I like to actively engage with the local art community in multiple ways, because I am passionate about the arts. Access to art of all mediums is vital to community wellbeing, not a privilege, and public art is one key component to access. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in?* The Public Art Advisory Committee oversees the City's Public Art Program and advises the City on potential projects/needs. The program provides grants and project opportunities to artists of all media, in order to build upon Iowa City's reputation as an artistic center and to enhance the cultural resources that the city has, bringing art to the community at large, and acknowledging that Iowa City itself can be interpreted in different ways for different groups. There are many exciting projects in process for the committee, and we have recently changed our matching grant program, increasing our grant amounts while also having one round of grants. This should lead to more variety in the scale of projects. Another success of the committee has been the installation of temporary sculpture pads in various parks around town, which allow for a rotating exhibition of sculptures by regional artists.
