State St. Meridian, ID 83642 208.695.4536 lcavener@gmail.com Dear Mayor de Weerd, I'm writing to formally submit my name for consideration as a replacement member of the Meridian Development Corporation. I believe that as a life long resident and former Community Liaison I posses a unique set of skills and experience that would serve the MDC and the community at large. As the MDC continues to identify unique opportunities to focus attention on the downtown core and the City of Meridian, I believe having a candidate with fresh ideas and a unique perspective is key. As the newly hired Director of Marketing for Primary Health, I was selected in part for my abi]ity to identify unique opportunities to promote our business; I believe this skill would benefit the MDC tremendously. I look forwazd to having the opportunity to connect with you regazding this position and discuss what qualities you aze looking for in a candidate, and how I can best continue to serve our community. In your service, Luke Cavener VENER ~ - 1048 W.
