“In the political world, we all seek a candidate that says what they will do and then goes out and does it. We are hoping for integrity, a positive attitude and an approach that represents us really well in the wider community.
My introduction to Dawn Becker took place when I was the chair of the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation board. Working closely with former City Council member Michael Wright, we recruited Dawn Becker as a board member for the foundation. We had heard about her exceptional communication skills, her energy and her get-it-done attitude. We hoped she would take on the foundation board chair role in time and that is exactly what she did.
As chair of the Poco Foundation, Dawn took on the tough issues that faced the city, collaborated with a wide range of individuals & organizations, and led the foundation to deliver exceptional results in a way that truly benefited the citizens of Poco. She partnered really well with the Mayor & City Council.
It is my hope that Dawn is given the opportunity to bring her gifts and talents to support a city that she loves. Poco citizens will benefit from having her on council.
It is an honor for me to endorse Dawn Becker for Port Coquitlam City Council.”
