Jean Davis Being a member of the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council is important to me and my goal is to maintain and improve our community’s recreational offerings. I was born in California and have lived in several communities in our state. I have appreciated the exceptional facilities in this community since moving here in August of 2009. I love wonderful Rancho Bernardo and the friendliness of the community. I work as a small business partner in a promotional business with one of our two daughters and also like to take time to play tennis, golf and hike. Previously I served as a classroom elementary and middle school teacher and as a physical education teacher. I held the needs of the child athlete and their parents foremost in my efforts. Acting as athletic director of a middle school in Monterey County I helped determine policy and hired of coaches while serving the needs of the various teams and coordinated the multiple use of fields and courts. While volunteering as chair of a children’s ministry in San Clemente I improved playground safety and oversaw hiring for the preschool positions, curriculum, staff training and background checks of volunteers. Going forward as a RB Recreation Council Member, I am particularly interested in hearing from groups and individuals regarding their recreational concerns. |
