Dear Camp Verde Business Alliance:

Thank you for considering my application for a position on the Board of Directors of the Camp Verde Business Alliance.

I am excited for the opportunity to serve my community in a positive manner. This is happening at a phenomenal time for me as I prepare to graduate from Yavapai College and will have time to dedicate to serving our Camp Verde business members. I look forward to the possibility of helping grow Camp Verde’s agricultural community and promoting our agricultural heritage.

I feel that supporting our agricultural community is a crucial part of growing Camp Verde’s future and success. Approximately 48% of Camp Verde’s 27,040 acres is privately owned, and 5% of the privately-owned properties in Camp Verde are listed as agricultural use. With agriculture being listed in all ten of the character areas of the Town of Camp Verde 2016 General Plan, I feel that we are underserving a vital part of our community. I would be honored to be a pivotal part of creating a niche within the Camp Verde Business Alliance for our local farmers, ranchers, and agriculturally based businesses.

Enclosed please find my application, as well as my resume.

Sincerely,

Shannon L. Wolfe
