"Ann was a delight to work with at Roberts Creek Elementary. Ann was one of the best leaders I have ever worked with. She always put the kids first. She
empowered the teachers to be the best they could be. Being a parent herself, Ann has seen both sides of our
education system. I endorse Ann as she would be a fantastic trustee."
Nancy Brindley
Former School
District Leader

critical thinker whose commitment to and depth of experience in public education would make her a valuable addition to the Board of Trustees for School District No 46."
Kathie Burega
Former Director, Sunshine Coast Community Service Board
"I have known Ann personally and in our capacities of directors on the Board of Sunshine Coast Community Services (SCCS) and volunteered with her weekly at Community Treasures, the SCCS thrift store. I found her to be a thoughtful and strong communicator, problem solver and dedicates herself fully to any endeavor in which she is involved. If elected, these skills as well as her concern and caring for the well-being of all community members will serve to make her an effective school trustee for our district."
