Biography
Carol moved to Loveland in 2004 and immediately
became active having served prior to her election in 2007 to Loveland City
Council, Ward II, on the Loveland Open Lands Advisory Commission for two
years; having served on the initial “Engaging Loveland” development
committee and the Comprehensive Master Plan Update Implementation Advisory
Committee; having attended the Loveland Citizen’s Police Academy and 80% of
the City Council meetings the previous 3 years before her election; and as a
member of the Downtown Loveland Association. An avid hiker and biker, she
is formerly president of the Loveland Mountain Club.
Carol served on the Golden City Council in the
at-large seat from 1996-2000, and as mayor pro tem from 1998-2000. As a
community volunteer she served for 15 years in Golden including the Local
Liquor Licensing Authority, Planning Commission, Urban Renewal Authority,
Utility Rate Structure Board, chair of Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
and several city and county-wide political campaigns. She also served on the
Committee to Choose the City Manager and as chair of a political action
committee, Golden Good Government League. She served as an officer and
legal counsel of several homeowner associations and as a board member of two
non-profits serving children. She looks to bring that experience and skill
to serve the citizens of Loveland.
Having lived in Colorado 33 of the last 38
years, Carol is originally from the Chicago area graduating from Western
Illinois University with a BA in political science education and she has a
law degree from University of Denver. Professionally, in private law
practice she has emphasized elder law particularly estate planning, estate
administration, real estate and small business. She has served for two
years on the “Senior Law Day” Committee of the Larimer County Bar
Association. As in-house corporate counsel at K N Energy (now Kinder
Morgan), she was responsible for all operations and litigation matters in
connection with the company’s natural gas storage, local gas distribution
and the underground coal mine. After twenty years in law, she changed her
career direction to using her legal skills to help health care and higher
education non-profits cultivate and solicit major and planned gifts. After
responsibilities as VP of Development for Banner Health in Phoenix and as
Director of Planned and Major Gifts for Banner McKee in Loveland and
Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, Arizona, she is
currently self-employed.
She is single, with a 33 year old son, Cliff,
and a 30 year old daughter, Kristin, who is a high angle rescue firefighter
with the City of Colorado Springs. Carol is a strong supporter of the
Downtown’s revitalization and spent her 15 years of community work in Golden
working to transform Golden’s downtown to the vibrant, healthy, tourist and
citizen attraction it is today. In furtherance of that goal she has served
on the Loveland Downtown Team, Chamber of Commerce board of directors,
Engaging Loveland board of directors and on the mayor’s Economic Development
Sub-Committee.
A promoter of the successful
lodging tax, Carol campaigned with Building a Better Loveland to assure its
passage in 2009. Carol also serves as City Council liaison to the Community
Marketing Commission, the Affordable Housing Commission, and the Historic
Preservation Board. A strong supporter of transportation, a healthy tax
base, and a forward-looking infrastructure particularly in water, she is
looking to collaborate in retaining and improving Loveland’s quality of
life. |
