Hello, my name is Pauline White. I have been a resident of Ingersoll since 2005 where I chose to raise my family and plan for my future. For the 2022 municipal election, I have put my name forward for a councillor position. I did this because I believe that I would be an effective asset on town council and would use my range of experience to do so. I feel a government should have equal representation to the people it serves. I will be honest when making decisions based on a deep sense of fairness with transparency for the greater good, without personal judgment. I want to be your voice. I want to work with council to move Ingersoll forward in success and opportunities. 
 

During my career in community services, I have had achievements in leading teams, supervising, and mentoring staff, volunteers, and community partners. I worked for eighteen years as a Police Dispatcher and a 9-1-1 Operator. This has taught me how to see the “big picture” in any situation that arises through an empathetic and creative lens. I believe these experiences will help me as a councillor when representing all the demographics that Ingersoll has. 
 

I provide a leadership style that empowers people to take accountability for their work and to feel good about their accomplishments. I lead with high standards and integrity; with proven success in building long-lasting and trusting relationships with residents, partners and stakeholders. In this role, I will attain success by meeting the needs of families, youth, adults, and seniors of the town. With my experience and determination, I would like to see the Town of Ingersoll as a place where community engagement thrives; with responsible leadership through sound fiscal management.

I have spent my time volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and for a Mental Health Support Line. I have also organized community women’s hockey and ball hockey teams. I place heavy importance on working as a team player with everyone. This includes staff and most importantly you - the taxpayers and citizens of this town! 
 

This vote is your chance to have your voice heard and have like-minded people working to achieve the overall mission and values set by the Town of Ingersoll. On October 24th vote for Pauline White for a position on town council. I will work hard to make sure everyone’s voices are heard.
