My name is Debbie Tablotney and I am running for re-election for School Trustee on November 15th. Our family has been living in Westwind since 1987. My three sons attended Westwind School and have graduated from 3 different high schools in Richmond. Our family run insurance business has been located in Richmond since 1990.
The Qualifications I bring to the job of Trustee:
Many candidates come out at election time and claim that they are passionate about education and how they are going to make changes to fix this and that. How many have even been to a board meeting? The problem is lots of them will talk the talk, but how many can say they have actually walked the walk.
I have been actively involved in our Richmond school system in some capacity for the past 25 years.
My extensive experience in the school system includes:
Have served as School Board Trustee – 9 years
R.D.P.A. – Richmond District Parents Association – board of directors – 2 years as Treasurer
Richmond Youth Concert Band board of directors – board of directors – 3 years as treasurer
London (school) Music Society board of directors – 2 years as VP / President
Westwind PAC Chairperson – 3 years
– as chair I developed a traffic safety program- was instrumental in getting Kindercare into Westwind School. At the time this was only the 2nd Kindercare in the Richmond school district.
Westwind / Austin Harris PAC Rep – 4 years
I also bring to the Board table my many years of experience in business and finances through my training in accounting and my active participation in our family owned insurance Brokerage.
