Candidate for
Council Member; City of Santa Clara; Seat 2

Dear Friends,

I am honored to run for the Santa Clara City Council Seat No.2 this November 2010. I intend to bring a fresh and independent perspective to the City Council based on many years of proven leadership, relevant experience and sound judgment. I am committed to an ethical service with honesty and compassion. I believe in a service-oriented leadership and a consultative and collaborative approach to Public Service.

I have an amazing wife, Sarah, and we're proud parents of our lovely children. Sarah and I have lived in Santa Clara for the last 18 years. We absolutely love this City. Santa Clara is where we work, our children go to School (Santa Clara Unified), play in the parks, and go to libraries. I want to give back to this city I happily call my home.

Over the last 15 years, I have worked in Silicon Valley in the IT industry and academia. I am humbled for the opportunity to serve-to-lead the residents of Santa Clara. Here is a list of Service/Training/Awards: 6 years as a Civil Service Commissioner; City of Santa Clara; 7 years as a Faculty Senator at National University; 8 years as a Community Leader; Citizen's Academy Leadership Program; May 2008; Bureau Division, San Francisco, CA; Leadership Santa Clara Program, June 2005, City of Santa Clara, CA; President's Professoriate Award, May 2009, NU, CA; Provost's Five Year Service Excellence Award, September 2008, NU, CA; Research Council's Faculty Distinguished Scholarship Award, September 2007, NU, CA.

I would like to meet with you, your family, friends, and neighbors to discuss the issues that are most important to you. Please contact me and provide me with your feedback. I believe my skills and expertise will allow me to represent our City effectively, and be your voice at the City Council. If you would like to Assist or Volunteer in our campaign, please contact me via phone or email. I ask for your Support. Your Contributions will help us get our message to the voters of the City of Santa Clara. I want to thank you for your Endorsement.

I am thankful to those people who have supported me in my work and efforts, and I could not have done it without those family members, friends, and neighbors. As your representative, I am looking forward to working with the Mayor, Council Members and the City Manager for "building abundance for better days" ahead and make City of Santa Clara a shining city on the hill and keep it as `A Place of Promise'. I humbly ask for your Vote for the election on November 2, 2010. I can be reached at (408) 840-4013 or Info@NadeemforCityCouncil2010.com Thank you.
