SST LTRMay 2, 2018 - I submit this letter in support of Heather Bernikoff to the voters of District 3. I have been Heather’s supervisor since 2006, and we have worked together since 2002.

Heather has assisted in allocating nearly $35 million in grant funds and was directly responsible for overseeing projects worth more than $19 million. She is accomplished in reviewing complex organizational materials, including financials, to ensure solvency, investment worthiness and quality project design. During her time at the Foundation where we worked, Heather funded in the areas of technology, capacity building, health, privacy, financial literacy, economic development and education throughout the State of California. This has given her a broad understanding of challenges and successes in a wide variety of communities.

She has been a passionate advocate for rural communities. Over 15 years, no funding cycle went by without some amount of funding allocated to projects in rural locations. As a Program Officer, and later, a Program Director, she excelled in assisting our partners in leveraging her state-wide knowledge and contacts to expand or strengthen their projects. She also oversaw our technology contractors and migration from one platform to another - all while working remotely from Mariposa County.

As a person, Heather is affable, responsible and accountable, always figuring out how she can perform better. She likes facts and has high standards. In electing Heather, the people of Mariposa will certainly benefit from her problem-solving skills and pursuit of knowledge as well as her compassion for humanity.
