Joan D Young January 8,2024 10399 Paradise Blvd. Unit 107 Treasure Island, Fl 33706 To: City of Treasure Island RE: Le? er of Interest- District #3 Commission Vacancy Dear Administra?on: Good a? ernoon, my name is Joan Young, and I would like to be considered for this posi?on as a resident on Paradise Island since 2016. Serving the city has been a goal of mine since my younger years. Having witnessed so much change in Pinellas County since the early 1980's, I am fascinated with the progress and future of the Tampa Bay area. Treasure Island was a place where I spent much of my ?me as a young adult and coming back to the area a? er 20 years in Hillsborough County brought me an incredible opportunity to experience the next phase of my career. My business acumen is truly diverse in nature. My earlier work life was centered around retail and bank management. I became an Office manager for an Environmental company and held accoun?ng, payroll and Human Resource cer?fica?ons throughout my 16 years with ongoing consul?ng to follow. Back In 2001, I had received my FL Real Estate License, and chose to keep the status for later use. I have been a FL Notary Public since 1997. In the 90's, becoming a single mom and working full ?me I had con?nued educa?on towards a BA degree but had not completed. I did receive an associate degree immediately following gradua?ng from the class of 1985, Gibbs Senior High School. Now a? er both sons are off on their own a? er successful college careers, I get to experience the true defini?on of living in Paradise as a very happy and sa?sfied Empty nester. When my mother was experiencing the onset of demen?a in 2016, I chose to move back to St. Petersburg area to become her caretaker. This was perfect ?ming for me to u?lize my real estate license and chose this opportunity for flexibility. My mother has since passed away and my ?me is now mine again. I believe I have the skillset to take on the seat on this commission and hope to be a part of significant changes that can improve the area and our lifestyle for the years to come. Over the years I have volunteered on many occasions for work purposes and personal. I was the Treasurer for the board of my HOA in Brandon for 10+ years and 5 years with my condo associa?on. I also was a member of the Chamber of Commerce in Hillsborough as a bank representa?ve, as well as boards at my son’s schools, PTA, SAC and The Boys & Girls Club of America. I also was a voluntary Catechism teacher at Na?vity Catholic Church for 7 years, and more recently served as a commi? ee member of The Alpha House of Pinellas for 2 years in St. Petersburg. Thank you for your ?me and considera?on, I appreciate the chance to serve the community I call Home! 17
