August 22, 2008
Overtown Community Oversight Board
1649 NW, 3rd Ave.
Miami, Florida
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to nominate Ms. Andrea Copeland for Board membership on the Overtown
Community Oversight Board (OCOB). I am really honored to submit this
recommendation on behalf of my colleague whom 1 have worked with for several years
at New Horizons Community Mental Health Center (New Horizons), and whose advice I
have sought on numerous occasions regarding the Overtown Community. Ms Copeland
is currently employed as coordinator of the Gladesview Neighborhood Center, by New
Horizons.
Anyone who has ever met Ms Copeland including myself, cannot help but be impressed
by her passion in articulating the current issues and needs of residents in Overtown.
Born, raised and educated (primary and secondary) in Overtown, Ms. Copeland has
never shirked from civic duty and involvement. She has logged in more than twenty
years of community service and has held several key positions, including Secretary of
the Overtown Optimist Club, President of the Town Park Plaza Condominiums' Tennant
Council, Member of the Overtown Task Force; and has worked as a case manager/
linkage specialist for 8 years, with the Overtown Family Enrichment Center.
I have come to regard Ms Copeland as an important stakeholder and asset of the
Overtown Community as confirmed by notable development researchers and local
government authorities who have sought her counsel. I have no doubt that the OCO
Board would find her enthusiasm to serve and share her knowledge and experiences,
assets that would enhance the effectiveness and achievement of outcomes for the
OCO Board, and the Overtown Community in particular.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I am needed for additional information to assist
Ms Copeland's candidacy to Board membership. Thank you.
