18 MEALS ON WHEELS AMERICA 2016 BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOMINATION FORM Name: Patricia (Patti) Lyons (Use of this format is required) This application constitutes your written consent to be nominated. Program/Business Name: Senior Citizens, Inc. Program/Business Address: 3025 Bull Street, Savannah, GA Phone: (912) Fax: (912) The following positions are open for this election process. Please indicate the position for which you are seeking election: Position Sought (Place X in one Position Length of Term Term Ending in: (1) box below) Vice Chair** 2 years 2018 Secretary-Treasurer 2 years 2018 X Director (two positions) 3 years 2019 **The term of the Vice Chair position is two years; per the By-law amendments approved by the Membership on April 15, 2016, the Vice Chair no longer automatically becomes the Chair. Please list all of your qualifications for the position being sought (please note that all such information may be made public to Meals on Wheels America Members): 1) List current employment, including job title, program, address & phone number, and address. President, Senior Citizens Inc Bull Street Savannah, GA (912) or toll free: (866) Website: plyons@seniorcitizens-inc.org 1

19 2) List current and past involvement with the Association. My involvement as been primarily as an active member of MOWA. Senior Citizens has also received several grants and I have attended every conference for the past five years. As a Board member (currently Board Chair) of the Meals On Wheels Association of Georgia, I have been involved with several advocacy efforts with MOWA. 3) Please explain your reason(s) for seeking office. I am seeking a position on the Board of Directors because I believe so strongly in the value of MOWA. Our work is critical, joyful, difficult and rewarding and few organizations have given me the professional and personal benefits as has my association with MOWA. As one of the founding members and current Board Chair of the Meals on the Wheels Association of Georgia, I know that it is through our work together that we can achieve the maximum impact that is needed for those we serve and those that love them. I am seeking this opportunity because I want to play a stronger role in helping our Association and all of our organizations reach our vision of an America in which all seniors live nourished lives with independence and dignity.. 4) What do you perceive as the key issues and concerns facing the Association? I think one of the challenges this Association faces is how to be relevant and meaningful to members that vary so drastically in size, processes, funding and structure. I think MOWA does an excellent job of providing a variety of educational and grant options to address these differences but it remains a issue that constantly has to be considered. The changes in Medicare and hospital reimbursement offer great opportunities as well as concern. As an Association, our challenge is how best to support programs and state associations as they tackle these challenges and grapple for their place in this changing landscape. This is a pivotal and potentially game-changing time for every program and helping our members understand these issues will be critical. 5) Written consent of your Board of Directors (for a program candidate) or your employer (for a non-program candidate, unless self-employed) is required to enable you to participate fully and effectively on the Association Board. This consent represents an acknowledgement of the commitment of time and resources necessary to serve, including attendance at all Board meetings and functions.

20 6) Please describe any Additional Qualifications for Service (see page 2 of 2016 Call for Nominations document). I was raised to believe that service was an honor and our obligation as members of a community. Because of this belief, I chose a career path that has been dominated by work in both nonprofit and government environments. These are arenas that feed my passion for changing the world while demanding the highest standards. I truly enjoy all aspects of this challenging work from direct service with clients to advocating with policy makers and community leaders, and developing relationships with donors and corporations. Both professionally and personally, I look for opportunities to collaborate, volunteer and advocate and have been fortunate to serve on several local, statewide and national boards/associations. These organizations have included the Meals On Wheels Association of Georgia (Board Chair), Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (Board Chair) and Girl Scouts USA, the Junior League of Savannah (Past President), Step Up Savannah, a city-wide poverty reduction initiative (Board Chair), the Points of Light Foundation and BB&T Bank. These opportunities have provided me with invaluable experience and formal training in governance, development and advocacy through organizations such as the Association of Junior Leagues International and Girl Scouts USA and through my selection and participation in Leadership Savannah and Leadership Georgia I have also been fortunate to work on statewide initiatives in both of the state governments of Tennessee and Georgia and currently have the privilege of serving as a Governor-appointee of the Georgia Council on Aging. In this role, I chair the Coalition of Advocates for Georgia s Elderly, a membership arm of the Council which is comprised of 700 advocates who are active in working with policy makers regarding issues affecting Georgia s elderly. It is my hope that my experiences will be useful to MOWA as we look to the challenges ahead for our Association. 7) Please disclose whether you have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor, or have ever been subject to a proceeding relating to the registration of, or solicitation for, a non-profit organization.¹ No XX Yes (please provide details) Please be advised that the Association intends to undertake background checks on all individuals nominated to serve on the Board of Directors. 8) You are requested to provide a recent picture of yourself which, along with your candidate information, will be made available to the Association s Membership should you be among the Committee s recommended slate of candidates for office.
