We feel it is of the utmost importance that this section of the community be repre- sented on this Board. To this effect, we herein request that you appoint Mr. Jacques Despinosse of the Haitian American Voters Education Center as the Edison/Little River community's representative. Mr. Despinosse has been a community activist for many years. He can effectively represent the views of the Haitian community. Complementing this, he has established effective linkages with other ethnic groups in the area through his voters regis- tration drive. He would serve as a catalyst to promote harmonious development and provide parity in political representation. We are confident that Mr. Despinosse will perform within the guidelines established by the city and hope that you will consider him for the Board. Sincerely, Roger E.
