Melissa Youssef is effective, accountable, and committed. It is said that the best predictor of future performance is past performance, making the decision to re-elect Melissa Youssef to City Council the best choice.
Over the past 15 years, I have worked with Melissa Youssef on several volunteer projects, the most notable of which have been the formation, early development and sustainable operation of Animas High School and fundraising for the Durango Discovery Museum through its development to the Powerhouse Science Center.
Melissa’s strengths are governance, leadership and stewardship, and commitment. Her governance skills, matching resources to the mission at hand, stretched dollars and precisely timed efforts. Her leadership style is natural; she shows true stewardship through her focus on promoting well-being for each person and constituent group involved in the effort.
Her commitment makes her belief in the cause transparent, attracting and inspiring others to the vision. In all her endeavors, including her service on City Council, Melissa Youssef has a track record that demonstrates experience, effectiveness and thoughtfulness.
If you know her record, you will vote to re-elect her to City Council. If you do not know her, I would encourage you to look at her record, speak to those who have had the pleasure of working alongside her, and join in the effort to re-elect Melissa Youssef to serve on Durango’s City Council.
