Rich Talipsky, Chair of the Portsmouth Economic Development Committee, just posted this comment looking for a youth rep, and I thought it deserved some front-page space.

Youth Rep for PEDC would be a great Senior Project

The Economic Development Committee has as spot for a Youth Member. Applications are now being solicited but the deadline is soon. Just send a short letter to the Town Clerk.

The Youth Rep serves as a full voting member of the PEDC.

This could be an excellent senior project. The PEDC Chair and the members of the PEDC all would be mentors for the Youth Rep using it as a senior project.

It is an excellent way to serve the Town and get your senior project done.

If we have to get private consulting firms to help do Senior Projects, I think we have elevated the project to something more than was initally envisoned.

I, personally, served as a judge for Senior Projects last year at Rogers High School. I was very impressed by the many Senior Projects that were done very well that did not need a private consultant's help.
