pride and satisfaction he receives from public service. Being a part of the effort to
guide the City forward and help prepare for the future has been and continues to be
very rewarding for him. I believe that I would receive the same satisfaction by
participating within the Human Rights Commission as this commission's mission fits
into my interests of both career and personal growth. ' I would take on the additional
responsibility of networking with community organizations and leaders to create a
forum where Maplewood citizens could respectfully speak with comfort and

Maplewood City Council for taking the time to review my application to be a
committee member on the Maplewood Human Rights Commission.

To the Maplewood City Council:
My name is Arianne K Maxwell. I am applying for a position on the Maplewood
Human Rights Commission. Currently, I am a licensed Special Education Teacher in
the area bf Specific Learning Disabilities. As a teacher, I work with students from
all backgrounds. I work tirelessly as an educational advocate for 41) students and
teach them to be life-long learners in their education, community, And globally.
I also have experience in building bridges between different Cultures. My heritage
consists of being African-American, Western European, and Native American. I
work to build bridges with these cultural communities together to promote
education and understanding about one another. My rich heritage has instilled the
important tools of understanding such as active listening, attending other cultural
events, and seeing the perspective of others. I know that my heritage and cultural
tools would beneficial and synergize with other members of the commission.
To begin my teaching career, I was a house manager for a six resident group home
concerned with cognitive developmental delays. MY responsibilities ranges from
maintaining finances, purchasing of groceries, and organizing community activities.
This is where my passion for the human rights issue of housing began.
My recent teaching experience, I was a case manager for 10 students with autism. I
taught a Transition class for middle school students on citizenship. I had a member
of the Crystal City Council speak with the kids about citizenship in their local
community. This is a passion of mine to educate students about the community and
the world around them. The teaching of human rights starts at home and in the
classroom.
I would like to be a member of the Human Rights Commission based on my
background, teaching experiences, and housing,
Sincerely,
Arianne K Maxwell

4. It is my desire to serve the residents of Maplewood in a capacity which promotes equality within our
community. This mission derives from my unwavering effort to build a stronger environment in which to raise a
family. I walk the talk and lead by example both inside and outside of my home. My agenda is not tainted with
political . viewpoints. I offer you the voice of a working mother who is entrenched in her community and willing to
work alongside others to create equal opportunities for all. Being afforded the opportunity to enrich neighbor's lives
would be my reward.
5. The duties assigned to me may be assigned by my peers or the Chair of the commission, as they see fit
based on my knowledge , and experience.
6. Since 20051 have served on the PCU Community Foundation Board of Directors as Secretary. It is
our mission to strengthen the quality of life within our communities by supporting financial education and
affordable housing initiatives. Every dollar we raise is funneled back into the communities we serve. As
the economy continues to struggle, our neighbors need us more than ever. In 20101 chaired the
Foundation's Inaugural Golf Tournament. The goal of this event was to raise $3500 to $5000 for our
endowment fund. The event was not only a success but we doubled our fundraising initiative. This
endowment fund will be utilized to award scholarships to students in our area who give back to their
communities.
I am a member of the awards committee for the MNCUN (Minnesota Credit Union Network) and have
been since 2003. We recognize individuals and credit unions that positively impact the communities they
serve. This committee encourages community involvement and recognizes outstanding efforts,
highlighting the credit union movement's philosophy of "people Helping People"
From 2005 to 2008 1 supported the Woodbury area as ambassador of the Chamber of Commerce. As an
ambassador it was our duty to support growth within the business community and encourage local
patronage.
In 2010, my neighborhood developed a Park Committee for Sherwood Park- The residents who wish to
take an active role in caring for the park enjoy this initiative. We gather together twice a year to clean the
park and once a year to celebrate its existence.
Other organizations I have been affiliated with in the past: Women's Venture, North St Paul Merchant
Task Force, Woodbury Days Volunteer, and the Oakdale Business and Professional Association.

Additional Comments:
I have been a leader within my organization since 1999. Managing people within the financial industry
for this length of time has provided we a profound respect for the rules and regulations which guide us.
As an organization, due to the fact we have respected these regulations in years past, we struggle less in a
weakened economic environment.
I am also a mentor for two individuals. Mentoring others in their chosen car= path is an honor. It also
provides me insight into their viewpoints on a multigenerational level. With the numerous hot topics we
encounter today, this experience allows me to stay closely connected and relate easily to all age groups
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to discussing the City Council's strategic
goals, as they pertain to this commission, with you in person. I would honor the opportunity to serve the
residents o f Maplewood in this capacity:
