I have many titles...Mom, Wife, Daughter,Grandma, Sister, Friend, Pastors Wife...you get the idea! Tonight I added a new and exciting title to the list...Anderson City Planning Commissioner!!! I never really thought that this would be a title that would be one that I would hold even though I have had a lot of interest in the planning of Anderson for many years!
When the door opened I felt very good about stepping through it. The guy in the picture with me is James Yarbrough, he is the City Councilman who nominated me for the position. I have known James for several years and I feel very honored that he has felt that this was something I was qualified to do. I will have the position as long he is a Councilman. At least until 2012. This is probably a perfect time to start on the Planning Commission because there is not a huge amount of projects being started in the city. I will have a chance to start out slowly and as the economy improves the projects will roll in and it will be so exciting to get to be a part of it! I actually will be going to Sacramento this weekend to a training seminar...
Let the adventure begin!!!!
