STRENGTHS

What special strengths do you believe you would bring to the board?


MARQUARDT: My background as a service-sector businessman, including experience gained from various legal issues, will prove an asset. My experience with public building design and maintenance issues will be valuable 
as we address facility repairs and expansion questions. I will also bring a common-sense, conservative 
perspective to all topics.


WILLIAMS:
  • New Berlin School Board (a similar district ) experience.
  • Advocate for education: Previous academic advisor, master's degree and three bachelor's degrees.
  • Leadership/management: 16+ years' experience in private and public sectors.
  • Experience transforming organizations: Together we can become a world class learning organization.
  • Character: Honesty, integrity, respect, collaboration, commitment, innovation.

WEIGAND: I have a good [baloney] detector and the ability to discern the merit of the issues broiught before the board. I would like to bring common sense into the discussions. As a businessman I have made a livelihood 
doing what others said could not be done.


CORAZZI**: I understand both the resources needed to deliver the quality education and programs that earn national recognition, and the complexity of the challenges facing the District. I am not a "single issue" candidate and I have the business and leadership skills to deliver solutions that balance needs of all stakeholders.


VAN EERDEN**: I have 9 years of experience on the West Bend School Board with expertise in 
curriculum and instruction, policy, and personnel. In addition, my Masters degree in Nursing along 
with over 25 years as a nurse faculty and Dean have given me skills that have been useful on the 
Board.

KNEPEL: WITHDRAWN FROM RACE



RAKOWSKI: I have 30 years professional business experience dealing with budgets, goals and negotiations.  I have completed the course work for a masters degree in education, and been an instructor.


ZIEGLER: NO RESPONSE.
