Joe Healy Candidate for the Bethany Beach Town Council
|
|
Joseph Healy 728 Bayberry Circle P.O. Box 1412 Bethany Beach, DE (302) 539-4007 |
Elected.
To: Residents and Property Owners of Bethany Beach
Re: Town Council Election, Saturday September 12, 2009
Dear Resident
and Property Owner:
My wife Peggie and I have been married for 48 years. Our children Mary, Brian, Eileen, Jacqueline, our grandchildren Connor Joseph and Riley Kathleen, have been coming to Bethany Beach for approximately the last 40 years. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, so much so that we have remodeled our Bethany home. We are owners, since 1988, and continue hopefully to make this our full-time residence.
My entire professional career has been in the financial arena (I am a CPA) and this has allowed me to develop a substantial skill set in financial reporting and long-term planning, as well as, managing for results. I have, over the last several years, reduced my employment from a full-time public practice partner to a semi-retired status. I have utilized this extra free time to serve actively on the Budget and Finance Committee from 2006 to present, as well as over the last two years as one of your Town Council Members.
I have accomplished and fostered over this period a greater awareness by the Council, Committees and Staff of the Bethany's Long-Term Planning Goals. The successful separation of our Water Department into a separate Enterprise Fund has brought additional clarity and focus to our financial understanding and reporting. Accounting, as such, should be viewed as a language not only as a prologue of the past, but as an enlightenment of the future.
I have enjoyed my time in public service within our Town and the opportunity it has afforded me to meet and work with so many competent and committed individuals. The common thread uniting all of us is the objective of doing the best job we can for the continued betterment of Bethany Beach.
I have been very fortunate over the years to have had a most enjoyable and rewarding professional career, but this was not exclusive of successful community service endeavors.
A brief outline of my professional and community service career is as follows:
