Dear Sir or Madam:
I have recruited, hired, trained and supervised a wide range of employees including:
supervisors, managers, technicians, production, inside sales, outside sales, customer
service and administrative staff. I have developed and managed successful inside sales
functions. I have managed call centers for inside sales and customer service. I have
managed customer service departments and been closely involved in both customer issue
resolution and training and coaching team members in customer services techniques for
more than fifteen years. I have more than twenty years experience in face-to-face
interactions with customers, including issue resolution, proposal discussions, and delivery
concerns. I have dealt with senior and executive management, including proposing new
business, and proposing significant service upgrades. I have been very successful in
identifying new market opportunities, developing and implementing strategies to market
these new services to business and residential customers. I have worked closely with
other functional managers in order to reduce inter-departmental conflict and increase
efficiency. I am quality-focused and have always worked closely with both customers
and suppliers (domestic and foreign)to maintain product quality while adhering to
productivity requirements and sales goals.
I am a self-motivated,hands-on manager with over thirteen years of successful
experience in consumer products manufacturing and service industries. I have extensive
experience creating budgets. I have developed and implemented strategies to meet and
exceed organizational standards of revenue growth, customer-base increase and profit
gain. I have won various company-wide awards-of excellence for these efforts, including:
largest net customer base gain(20.2%), largest revenue increase (25.7% in 2000), and
highest customer retention(97.9%.) I was chosen to participate in the implementation of
the process-improvement program, Six Sigma, by ServiceMaster, Terminix's parent
company.
The Federal Way Arts Commission will benefit from my energy, enthusiasm and team
building skills as well as my ability to grasp new challenges.
I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my skills and this position. If you
have questions or would like to schedule an interview,please contact me by phone at
253-719-8642 or by e-mail at jstiles2 @comcast.net. I have enclosed my resume for your

To the Boards&Commissions committee
My name is Matthew Johnson.I'm a 28 year old artist and actor.I am very interested in working for the arts
committee.Over the past 10 years I have studied both business and Art together.I am self-taught as well as
educated at both Seattle Art Institute and Highline Community College.
Over the last 3 years I have been acting and directing small productions around the Burien,Freemont and Auburn
area.I attained two lead roles,4 supporting and directed one production all under Highline Community College.I
went on to work for several different groups.
This summer I was charged with running a small group of actors.During our 3 month venture I turned a small
gathering of friends&actors into a profitable entertainment group.After being undermined by the theater we
worked with we decided to go our separate ways.
So after much thought and consideration I have decided to lend my talents out to the public. By becoming a
member of the Arts committee I can bring much needed service to this art starved community.

Dear Members of the Federal Arts Commission,
My name is Mary Blacker. I have taught in the school district for over 20 years before retiring. We
moved to Federal Way 12 years ago I am impressed by many things here,the foresight to purchase land
for the park system,the sidewalks and new crossings,The Federal Way Community Center,the Senior
Centers,the Transit Center, the Dumas Bay Property,and the cultural events. It is wonderful that we
can drive a short distance to hear our Symphony,the Chorale Singers,the Barbershop singers and Sweet
Adeline's, and Center Stage performances plus other events throughout the year. It is a joy to see the
sculptures and art work in various places around our city.
It is time that I paid back the city for these advantages with whatever time and talent that could be of
use to you. I am acquainted with several talented artists in this area and feel blessed that we can
encourage and display their works.
Sincerely yours,
121 , ��

Last Updated September 17,2014
Why do you want to serve on this Board/Commission?
I wish to serve because I believe that art is an essential component of a healthy and thriving
community. Art provides beauty, inspiration,and sometimes thought provoking themes. It enhances
awareness of our emotional and spiritual side of life by giving us new perspectives. Federal Way has
been doing a fine job of bringing art to the city. I believe we can continue to explore and broaden our
venues of art to the public. Our new downtown development will be a wonderful place to expand public
art visually and musically I am hoping we continue with public art and have a downtown gallery that
supports our local artists with their various mediums. I am willing to work to further your goals.

What are your prior experiences in this area?__----_ _ _-_
- .—_--_.___.--- .-------_.___.._------.----_---..._.
I have been a teacher in the Federal schools teaching art to my classes and encouraging them to enter

two years. As a season ticket holder I have worked on the annual Symphony auction and volunteered at
the concerts. I volunteer for the Knutson Theater. I belong to the Tacoma Glass Museum and have
been a docent there. I also belong to the Tacoma Art Museum and attend their fund raising activities. I
have long supported the building of PACC,and attended the wonderful concert this year at Twin Lakes
Country Clubs see your role as a Board Member/Commissioner?

like to collaborate with the commission and reach out to the community to promote the arts and gather
information and ideas that could possibly be used in the future.

Federal Way Arts Commission Application
Addendum — December 4, 2014
I thought it important to supplement my submission for the vacancy on the Arts
Commission expanding on my practical experiences dealing with art in a
community and our fantastic planet.
In my travels to Europe, it is quite apparent that art in many forms performs the
function of defining a city, like Paris for example. On virtually every street you will
see statues dating back hundreds years. On building scattered throughout the
city, you will see frescos painted on the sides of historic buildings. You wander
inside those same buildings and you're immediately mesmerized by the
renderings and paintings of great artists over decades and centuries. Museums of
immeasurable and historical significance are easily attainable by mass transit.
When traveling to Scotland, the city of Edinburgh was littered with artistic
artifacts and statuary of men and women who played roles in the history of that
fabled country. Museums of fine art are studded throughout the city.
When Karla and I traveled to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, I was impressed of
the early artistry of the Mayans as well as the other native people of the region,
including the Aztecs and Incas in other parts of Mexico. Their pyramids rising up
to meet the sun withholding their secrets of a society long ago but keenly on
display is their art that was left behind.
When we've had the opportunity to take advantage of cruises to other parts of
the world, Alaska, the Caribbean, the Pacific Coast of Mexico, through the
Panama Canal, you can be sure that when visiting those interesting cities that the
first thing that grabs your attention are the local artists plying their trades near
the ports.
As President I Commanding General of the Association of Washington Generals, a
legislatively-approved non-profit, I have had the great opportunity to participate
in the building of a memorial honoring the crew of the St. Nikolai, complete with
engraved plaques describing the incredible adventure that they encountered and
the trials of their courage and perseverance. The dedication of this project will
take place next summer 2015.
What my recent participation in building the memorial and our travels around the
different continents has made me realize is that art in all its forms is what is left
behind for generations to admire and gain some sense of what life was like when
those fabulous creations were crafted. It also signifies the pride of a community
when placing artwork for everyone to enjoy in public spaces.
It defines us.
Thank you and I look forward to serving the city of Federal Way on the Arts
Commissi. .

To whom it may concern;
This is a letter of application for the Federal Way Arts Commission. My interest in joining the
commission stems from my years of residency here, my teaching career in the arts and my work in both
musical and visual arts. I'm in the process of planning a retirement from teaching and am looking for
ways to continue serving the community through the arts.
of Federal Way since 1968. I attended schools here and graduated from Thomas
I've been a resident o Fede a s ce 8
Y
Jefferson High School in 1973. (I was thrilled and fortunate to have Roland Schanzenbach and Don
Barrows as my teachers.) I was fortunate in receiving a teaching position here in my hometown in the
fall of 1979; my wife Jane and I have lived here since. During the 1980s I taught did graduate work at
the University of Washington,eventually earning a PhD in music in 1994. I was a performer with the
Federal Way Symphony for many years and also was a member of its board of directors from 1995-2010.
One of my major projects on that board was the yearly organization of the Marjorie Easley Young Artists
Competition.
I have also pursued an interest in visual arts through my photographic work. I have taught photography
at Todd Beamer High School since its opening in 2003. I have twice been a featured artist for the city's
arts competitions. My photographic work has been primarily in nature, my images are featured in a
number of books, magazines and the web throughout the world.
One of the challenges the city faces is embracing its diversity. I believe that our community has an
untapped cultural richness that has been an outgrowth of our changing demographics, it is vital that we
use the arts as a means for promoting our community, both within and to the area at large. My
experience with young people in our schools these past decades has made me aware of the rich cultural
diversity that makes up our city. If chosen to serve, I would work towards incorporating those groups
into our city's culture. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Daniel P. Hershman PhD
