I have been a resident of this Ward since I moved to Ames in January 1979. Please find enclosed a copy of my resume for your reference. I have been active as a volunteer in Ames for a number of years. I have chaired the Ames Historic Preservation Commission at the time it was founded for four years. I also served in the Ames Planning and Zoning Commission twice, once for a short period of about two years and then again after I returned from an overseas assignment for a full five- years term during which I chaired it for a year. I have served also on other groups and committees, including the one sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce on Ames Vision 2020. Currently I am serving on the Boards of Youth and Shelter Services and United Way of Story County. I have always found such assignments, despite the hard work they require, to be fulfilling and rewarding. I feel I can contribute to Ames as a member of the Council, and I look forward to your collective decision. Respectfully, - �o�cL 6. Riad G.
