President- Morgan O'Donnell

Who I Am

Like most people, I have many facets. I am a poet, cat-person, wife, former soldier, mother, mountain girl, Dune fan, bisexual woman, and a chocolate lover to name a few.

What Experience Do I Have?

I have served as served as a director on the board of a small grant-funded community organization; a committee member on an academic program steering committee; have served and currently serve as an advisor for a student BLGT group, founded a student BLGT group, am a member of an employee BLGT group, and was a non-commissioned officer in the military.

I have been involved with Toastmasters International (a volunteer organization focusing on public speaking and leadership skills) since 2002 in a variety of roles from being a charter member of one club, founding another club, and serving in several officer positions, including president where I helped lead the club to the highest status a club can achieve.

As for paid positions, I have worked several years in the public relations/communications field. I also have experience in outreach, event coordination, and teaching.

This is a small snapshot of the skills and experience I would bring to the position of president, if  elected.

Why Do I Want to Hold Office?

Because I want to help grow DFW Bi Net.  Because I want to give back to the organization that has given me a home, friends, and support. Because I want to provide the opportunity for other bisexual people to feel accepted for who they are as I have been accepted by the members of DFW Bi Net. Some of the possibilities I see for DFW Bi Net in the future include growing the support groups, to provide training for the moderators, to provide a counselor for the support groups, starting a newsletter, increasing social activities, and getting the word out to North Texas bi-community that we are here for them. Of course, these activities would require money so fundraising would also be something I would want to work on.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Morgan
