The Northern Wells school board has selected Angela Topp to replace former board member Michelle Brown-Stohler, who is leaving Lancaster Township. To be chosen, Topp submitted the following letter and resume:
Dear Gene:
I would like to submit my letter of interest in fulfilling Michelle Brown-Stohler’s term with the Northern Wells School Board.
Ever since working for Peter Confer at Ossian State Bank, I’ve felt that at some point I might wish to pursue serving on the NWCS Board. My perspective and outlook on being on the Board has changed so much over the past 12+ years. Throw in that many more years of experience in the business and financial world, 2 children with special needs and 1 with high abilities, and two years in the Wells County Leadership Academy, and I think I have the qualities needed to serve in this capacity now more than ever before.
My family has spent time considering and praying about this letter of interest and are ready to see if God will open or close the door to serve with you on the Board. It is also my intent to complete the required Petition of Nomination to pursue running for the position in the November election.
I appreciate you giving me your consideration and hope that you will feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you need additional information. A brief overview of my past experience is attached.
Sincerely yours,
Angela Topp
