Dear City Council Members: I am extremely interested in working as a volunteer member of the Human Rights Commission for the City of Iowa City, Iowa. My previous positions in property management have given me experience in working with a diverse population of residents where I would often be required to investigate, evaluate and mediate residents complaints and concerns. These business and property management positions have also given me experience in areas of employment law as I was responsible for the hiring and supervision of all of the staff and in areas of credit and housing and landlord/tenant laws as I was responsible for making all of the decisions on the granting of credit and entering into rental agreements with prospective tenants. My work at H.E.L.P. Legal Assistance gave me invaluable experience in helping provide legal services, representation and education to low income individuals and senior citizens. This position also gave me the opportunity to assist clients with matters with govermnent agencies such as including, but not limited to, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Social Security Administration, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, the University of Iowa Registrars office and the Iowa Department of Human Services and co~nmunity action agencies such as Iowa East Central T.R.A.I.N. energy assistance programs and the St. Vincent Refitgee Resettlement Program and Immigration Legalization service. I am available to interview with any or all of you to further discuss my qualifications and what I can contribute to the City of Iowa City Human Rights Commission. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any additional information. incere , STEPHEN J. SHANNON 2254 S.
