Biography
Carol moved to Loveland in 2004 and immediately
became active having served prior to her election in 2007 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 currently 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 31 of the last 36
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. 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. She has served for two years on the
“Senior Law Day” Committee of the Larimer County Bar Association. Currently
she is self-employed as an attorney in private practice and as a
professional fundraiser.
She is single, with a 30
year old son, Cliff, and a 27 year old daughter, Kristin, who is a
firefighter with the City of Colorado Springs. Carol is a strong supporter
of the Downtown 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. 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. |
