Michael Lewis
Please allow me to continue serving the residents of Bear Valley Springs as a Director of the Community Services District Board.
My goals are to preserve the greatness we have, restore what we have lost, and provide for a lasting future. I am committed to transparency and open communications, working together for a better community.
While serving on the Bear Valley CSD board, I have had a positive effect, but there is much to be done. We must make a plan to update and repair our infrastructure; roads and water. It is important to do this while maintaining the services that make BVS a great place to live. This requires leadership, building trust, and reaching a broad consensus of opinion for an affordable solution.
I served for many years, in both public and private sectors, on boards and committees. I brought together people with different points of view. I was appointed as a CSD director and have applied those skills in service to my community. I look forward to continuing as a director and am very pleased to be able to serve in such an important and meaningful way.
I am gifted with the ability to comprehend complex systems, understanding how the various pieces function together. This has proved invaluable in my undertakings from engineering to management. Having experience in government, the private sector, and academia, I understand how all human endeavor is more similar than disparate, the differences in an organization focused on a profit motive vs a service motive, and how to inform all stakeholders in an understandable manner. I believe in working toward a unified goal, ensuring as many as possible agree with what and how we can achieve.
