I am Lily Harvey, an independent candidate for Vancouver School Board Trustee. I am passionate about education and its powerful role in the creations of all prosperity.
Last Thursday I met Chris while campaigning on Maple street. I told him that I wanted to meet as many voters as possible in person. He suggested I should go to Augustine Church to meet voters. I took his advice.
Chris took his wife and three kids to that church on Sunday because of our meeting, and told me that because of his actions, over 2 dozen people voted for me; many of them originally didn't plan to vote.
My Platform For A New Vancouver School Board:
• using a Project Management approach and thinking outside the box to find solutions
• directing V.S.B. leadership to speed up problem solving
• better planning and resource usage
• inclusive, open, transparent decision making more
I am enjoying the campaign, connecting with voters. here's what X. Long told me by email:
i heard you speak during the town hall meeting last night
you seem like a good person with good ideas, positive!
I've heard so many positive comments from voters! their feedback has really warmed my heart on these cold rainy nights. many people are passionate about their desire for a new V.S.B.
I am Lily Harvey, I came to Canada from China in 1995. In China, I was an engineer; currently I'm a business consultant and project management professional.
“As your future Trustee on the Vancouver School Board;
I stand for
1. transparency and accountability
2. an inclusive voice and parent empowerment
3. better collaboration among teachers, families, communities and governments
4. a safe and respectful learning environment FREE from bullying
My campaign experiences so far have been very positive. 90% of the people I've met and listened to are voters hungry for improvement to Canadian education. They LOVE my pledge IEEE - Inspire! Encourage! Empower! Enable!
I hope that the other 10% will become voters after thinking about our conversations. Because I feel they do care and they do believe in the individual's power to make a difference in their community, and society at large.
Topic: Federal Reserve Chairmen Bernanke is an example of desirable Leadership in today's world with Quality of Calm, Constructiveness, Public interest oriented, Confidence with knowledge and Skills to Lead
The spoken and unspoken messages I perceived from Mr. Bernanke's speech today are:
1. Fed. Reserve is capable in all perspective - monetary policies, willingness to do whatever takes to help the economy, open minded to all suggestions but public's interest will be always paramount consideration.
