Subject: UPRD Board vacancy

Members of the Board of Supervisors,
I have been a homeowner in University Park since 2004 except for a 4 year period 2018-2022. I was very involved with the Planning Group which guided the turnover from the developer. Michele and I have appreciated the community's growth and improved amenities over that period. We have also appreciated the efforts of the former chair, Sally Dickson.

I am writing to you to encourage you to give serious consideration to appointing Dale Otterman to the vacant board position. I have known Dale since 2004 and believe she will be an excellent member of the board and bring a few dimensions to the board including:
Adding a female to the all-male board
Representing the non-golf membership
Advocating for necessary improvements to the fitness program with intimate knowledge of its many needs
Proven track record of community participation

I have known Dale since 2004 and can speak directly to her sincerity, excellent work ethic, even-handedness, and listening skills. She would absolutely be an asset to the board as it works through the many issues facing it. One added advantage to her candidacy is that she received significant community support in the 2025 election.
Good luck with this decision. Vincent Beni
