Tim Zeidner -- Advocate for Transparency and Public Service
Tim is the director of research and evaluation at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT. He has a Ph.D in educational policy from Vanderbilt University.
"I have been looking for a place that aligns best with how I think and feel about our society and our choices. I believe in civility and in fairness. I detest the idea that when I vote I am told that it doesn't count or matter because of where I live. I believe in transparency as a powerful agent for creating accountability in how we choose our leaders and how our leaders represent us. I don't believe in politics as a profession, and I believe our first president modeled for us the value of doing our part and then stepping aside. Above all, I believe in the citizen, and in our individual contributions to society. Collectively we create an essential fabric for good governance, good communities, and good places for our children to grow up and make our country a better place."
