Under consideration was Henry Davis Jr., Megan Buell, Jonathan Gonzalez <br /> and Abraham Gordillo. Mr. Davis focused primarily on the diversity of city jobs and how those <br /> that work in the City are not a diverse reflection of the City. He also wants the Board to focus <br /> more on community outreach. Ms. Buell focused on her experience working in the work place <br /> and understanding contracts, grants, and applications for minority business. As a transgender <br /> member of the community, she feels she is the best representation for the Board. Mr. Gonzalez <br /> expressed his experience of being a real estate investment broker and felt that experience made <br /> him very qualified for the position on the Board. He has also always wanted to get more involved <br /> with what goes on in the City, and also looks forward to helping minority businesses gain the <br /> understanding of how to be successful. Mr. Gordillo shared his experience in construction and <br /> business, and he also has a lot of experience with filling out the contracting and registration <br /> forms. He feels that his experience with that will be best shared if given the opportunity to serve <br /> on the Board. <br /> 455 County-City Building•227 W.Jefferson Boulevard•South Bend,Indiana 46601 <br /> Phone 574-235-9221 •Fax 574-235-9173•TDD 574-235-5567•www.SouthBendrN.gov <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN ALKEYNA M.ALDRIDGE JOSEPH MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> OPERATIONS <br />
