Endorsement from Bob
Allen
As early voting is now underway, I hope that
you will indulge me for just a moment as I introduce you to
an individual that I believe can have an immediate and
lasting impact on our community. Janet Maccubbin is a
results-oriented leader with critical business and
government experience that makes her the most qualified
candidate for the Frisco ISD School Board, Place 4.
In Janet's professional career, she has extensive expertise
in setting strategy, writing policy, and enacting programs
that achieve real change. Janet has been elected to
leadership positions on several City of Frisco and City
Council boards, she has served on the Board of Directors of
numerous non-profit organizations, and she has been
actively involved in the community as a FFL cheer coach, a
preschool Sunday School Teacher, and as a team leader
coordinating the efforts of 30 volunteers each week. It is
through each of these leadership positions that Janet has
demonstrated the ability to work alongside other board
members in producing real results that have changed our
community for the better.
During the first half of Janet's career, she authored US
Federal policies, serving as a subject matter expert for US
Federal Court cases and inventing new programs to be
implemented throughout the United States. During this
period, Janet defined the vision for multi-million dollar
programs and created strategic plans that identified goals
and measures of success. These experiences and achievements
will enable Janet to make an immediate impact on the FISD
Board.
Most recently Janet was engaged as the Chair of the Frisco
Housing Authority, transforming the operation of this
Federally-controlled local government entity by, leading
the resolution of 25 outstanding Federal audit findings
ranging from lack of financial compliance to reporting
deficiencies. It is through her efforts that the Frisco
Housing Authority is now recognized by the US Government as
an example of a well-run, fully-compliant operation. Janet
serves as the coordinator of the Frisco Workforce Housing
Committee, facilitating a diverse group of 20+ real estate
developers and community leaders through the planning
process to the creation of the City of Frisco Workforce
Housing Trust Fund. As a direct result of her efforts, the
fund now provides homeownership assistance to families of
modest means who currently work in the City of Frisco and
want to own a home in Frisco, preventing important tax
revenues from going to neighboring cities and reducing
commuting congestion. Janet also serves as Frisco's
Downtown Coordinator, working with Downtown property owners
to develop a tax incentive program that will reward both
new and existing homeowners who invest private resources in
preserving and protecting historically significant homes in
Downtown Frisco.
In my opinion, the key difference that makes Janet the best
candidate is her personal experience in setting vision and
strategy, and turning those strategies into sustainable
programs. In every aspect of her life, from her wonderful
family, to her deep and constant faith, to her ability to
truly make an incredible difference in our community, Janet
is worthy of your support.
There is so much more to Janet than I can share with you
here. I encourage you to visit her website at www.votejanet.org to learn more. On her
website, you'll see my personal endorsement, as well as
other familiar community leaders. I urge you to learn
more and to share this message with anyone that you feel
shares your commitment to this community.
Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your time
and please remember to vote.
Bob Allen
