Virginia interviewed for Mason County Historic Preservation Commission slot

Mason County commissioners interviewed Virginia (appearing by Zoom) for a vacancy on the Mason County Historic Preservation Commission. Virginia told the panel she has a strong interest in local history and heritage: she described organizing community arts-and-crafts events (including vendors, music and local museum participation) at Harmony Hill/Sacred Waters and selling local history books as part of outreach efforts.

Virginia said she enjoys teamwork and would bring organizational skills, including database and Excel experience, to support plaque projects, marketing and outreach to schools. She confirmed that the commission's regular meeting time (second Thursday at 2 p.m.) would not be a conflict and said she has no conflicts of interest with the advisory board. "I love history... I want to know the story behind it," she said during the interview. Commissioners thanked her, explained that they would discuss the appointment at the end of the briefing, and said staff would follow up about next steps.

Note on transcript naming: during the interview the applicant referred once to "Mesa County"; the county and meeting materials identify the governing body as Mason County and the article uses the authoritative jurisdiction name when referring to county programs and committees.
