Martin, General Manager East Valley PJater District 3654 East Hip;hland Avenue, Suite 18 Highland, CA, 92346 Thank you for your time on the phone yesterday. As we discussed, I am very interested in serving on the East Valley Water District Board of Directors to help address some of the challenge:~ facing the district. As the Inland Empire continues to lead the state in population growth, there is significant risk that we will face water shortages or incur expensive investments to meet the demand. These challenges could be amplified in some climate chan€;e scenarios as noted in a recent RAND study on water management in the Inland Empire. My multi-disciplinary background and experience will help the board address these challenges. As a native ta the Highland-San Bernardino area, I have seen many changes in the valley. I have extens:ive business experience coupled with a strong background in citrus fattning and real estate investment. I hold a dual doctorate in optometry and jurisprudence and haue significant board and committee experience at the narional, state and local level, including the San Bernardino County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASC) Committee. I have dedicated most of my life to improving the Inland Empire and believe that I could make a valua~ble contribution to the EV WD. I look forward to being part of an interesting and challenging board serving the people in the Highland-San Bemardino area and expanding and enhancing the scope of service and education. incerely, ~ : ~~ ~///~~L^~~ " \ Pam a J.
