Yucca District E-News for...
October 3, 2019
Hello everyone in the Yucca District ~
I know this is where you would typically hear from Vice Mayor Clark but she's away this week so I'm temporarily taking over! Ok, not totally taking over...just taking over the newsletter.
A few weeks ago, Vice Mayor Clark mentioned she had a new Council Assistant. Well, that's me! I wanted to introduce myself and let you know a little about me. My name is Shannon Beck. I grew up in northeastern Michigan and moved to Iowa in the early 90's where I lived for the better part of the last 29 years. Earlier this year, I decided I had enough of the snow and cold and ice and made the big move to Arizona! When people ask how I handled my first summer in Arizona, my response is always, "Way better than I handled winter!"
I've worked in city government for several years. I started out working part-time in the Recreation Department for the City of Perry, Iowa. Prior to relocating to Arizona, I worked for the City of Waukee, Iowa. I served as the Development Services Administrative Assistant for 2 ½ years before moving to the police department where I served as the Records Technician for over 7 ½ years. I have two grown sons, Jeremy who lives in Iowa and Jordan who lives in Texas, and two dogs, Steve and Wubby, who stayed in Iowa with Jeremy.
I've been with the City of Glendale for just under two months which means I still have a lot to learn! I'm continuing to learn the ins and outs of the City, which department handles what issues, streets, businesses, etc. but I can't stress enough how helpful everyone with the City has been. I am truly blessed to have found such a wonderful community to take me in as one of their own.
If you need any assistance, have a question or a concern, or just want to bring something to Vice Mayor Clark's attention, please do not hesitate to call or email me. My email is sbeck@glendaleaz.com and my phone number is 623.930.2250.
Sincerely,
|
