Dear Mr. Hunt and Ms. Beaks,
Please accept this letter as my interest in serving as the CEO for the proposed
Community Health Center in Seward, Alaska.
I have over eight (8) years' worth of experience as CEO/ED for community health
centers and over 25 years' worth of experience as CEO/ED for a number of non-profit
social service organizations ranging from child care to domestic violence to health care.
My management experiences include serving as ED for the Wyoming Primary Care
Association, during which time I worked closely with the State Primary Care
Organization, National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), BPHC and
HRSA, as well as other State and Federal stakeholders. My most relevant experience
was serving as the CEO for the Cheyenne Health and Wellness Center, a new start-up
CHC in 2004, so I possess experience needed in starting a center from the ground up. I
have extensive experience working with non-profit boards on board development,
resource development, strategic planning, risk management and assessment planning.
Another area of expertise is in grants management, from writing and reporting on grants
to the development of grant RFPs and the review and dispersement of State and
Federal grant dollars and monitoring of grant recipients.
My CV identifies my education, skills and additional relevant experiences.
Sincerely,
Sharon
Sharon Montagnino
