Having moved <br />from a smaller town then Elk River I understand what needs to <br />be done in order for Elk River to grow properly. That is for both <br />business and family growth as well. <br />What skills, training, and <br />experience would you bring <br />to the commission for <br />which you seek <br />appointment? <br />I have a bachelor's degree in business management and have <br />been in the banking industry for 25 years. Over that time, I <br />have gained working experience in business banking to <br />working for a CDC and the SBA 504 program. In addition, I am <br />also familiar with TIF and other financing options. Currently I <br />am the Chair for the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce and <br />have been a part of various manufacturing associations <br />throughout my career. From a Civic standpoint my father was a <br />County Commissioner for many years and a State <br />Representative, so I have an understanding on how <br />government agencies work. <br />Conflict of Interest No <br />If yes, explain: Field not completed. <br />How did you hear about this <br />vacancy? <br />Other <br />Electronic Signature <br />Agreement <br />Agree <br />Electronic Signature Anthony R Sofio
