I have become inspired to volunteer and get more involved in the local community after recently graduating from the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce Leadership Institute. The CAC is of particular interest with its function of advising the City Council on matters relating to the local economy, the development of affordable housing projects and the fostering of a more vibrant San Rafael.

As a practicing planner in the Bay Area I am quite engaged in civic activities related to my profession. Since city planning, and civic participation in general, is my profession, I am not currently involved in extra-curricular civic activities. However, I have recently been looking at ways I can get more involved in the San Rafael community in particular and hope to increase my civic activity significantly. Torina N Wilson San Rafael CA 94903 Home: PlaceWorks Environmental and Comprehensive Planner Torina N Wilson Page 1 of 3 Upload a Resume List any civic organizations of which you are a member: I am a member of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). AAUW is an organization that advances equity for women through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. Beginning in June 2019 I will have a small role on the AAUW board, planning events aimed at fundraising money for scholarships for women, and advancing education for AAUW members in Marin County. Education: I have a Bachelors of Science in City and Regional Planning from California Polytechnic State University- San Luis Obispo. Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission? There are several reasons I would like to serve on a commission. My family has lived in San Rafael for approximately 6 years (I have only lived here approximately 2.5 years because I was gone for college), and I feel such an immense connection to this city that I am certain it is my forever home. San Rafael is a dynamic and exciting place, with so much potential to become even greater. I believe that my youthful energy, my unique perspective, and my education and professional experience in City Planning, means I am an extremely well-rounded individual who can thrive on a commission, particularly because I understand the dynamic and the importance of commissions such as this CAC. Additionally, as a renter in San Rafael, I feel I can provide a good perspective, particularly when it comes to affordable housing, market rate rentals, and the overall economic well-being of those who rent in San Rafael. Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the City: I currently work for PlaceWorks, who is a subconsultant hired by the City of San Rafael to conduct the environmental review for the General Plan Update and Downtown Precise Plan. While this means I am extremely familiar with the city's General Plan 2020, and will be extremely familiar with the General Plan 2040, There may be come cases where I might be prohibited in participating in CAC activities, if they happen to involve the General Plan.
