10 Candidate Statements My name is Roger Keithly. I have been a member of PVRA since 2006, and would like to be considered for a board position as a one or two year delegate at large. I am now retired and have the time to devote to this position. I ran my own law practice for 40 years and am familiar with the business, tax and personnel issues that accompany managing a business. I also served on the Poway UniÞed School Board for 14 years while my children were in school, which gave me experience with a $100,000,000 a year budget and 1600 employees.
