VISION
"We are a welcoming and tolerant community, we are engaged and passionate, we are proud of our City and we know we can be even better!"
Nancy sees that we need to have a clear vision and political will to manage inevitable change and not let outside force define us. "I think there are 4 pillars that we all cherish and need to protect that define the culture of our community. Most importantly, the foundation of those pillars is our people."

CHANGE
"The City is poised to enter its next phase of evolution and I have the skill set to guide us through that transition."
It will take vision and big thinking. It will take someone who knows the importance of process and policy in addition to operations to lead the community in preserving what make us a wonderful. And what can make us even better? LISTENING to ALL the voices in Manitou Springs -- the residents and the businesses, the fortunate and the less fortunate, the old and the young, and the diversity that is our community.
