| I was born in Provo, Utah.
I was the eldest of ten children (3 girls, 7 boys). I was married to
my husband Charles K. Borough on February 9th, 1968. We have six
wonderful children (2 daughters, 3 sons, and one step son) |
| I feel most qualified to be connected to family
matters. It has been the source of my identity as a person. I have
invested much in the growth of children and husband. I wish to enjoy
my children and grandchildren and continued extended family contact.
Failure in this venue would depress me greatly. I strive to maintain an
atmosphere that is open to all and provides a friendly refuge from the cares
of the world. I also like to maintain the household as a place where
problems can be solved and assistance can be offered. I'm not afraid to
"roll up my sleeves".
Since the source of much of my socialization has been my church, I
strive to pay forward the service that was rendered to me as a child.
The attention, encouragement, and recreation afforded me by leaders and
teachers in my church has given me a sense of purpose and place to fit in.
I also enjoy the "hands on" service I can give in the community.
Working on projects that require creativity have been a way for me to
refresh my spirit and give me a sense of accomplishment. Being able to
see progress in small decorating or landscaping projects is rewarding to my
self-esteem...I made a difference. I also enjoy music and theater.
It gives me pleasure to indulge in the talents of others. |

| While these positions have little bearing on
what I do now, they did afford me a sense of the business world and exposed
me to systems and organizations I would otherwise not have experienced.
They were the basis for comparison of other work experiences and gave me
skills to enhance my contributions elsewhere. |
| Working with the folks at the Institute has
expanded my world view. Having most of my experience in very "sheltered" or
strict environments, I have most appreciated the flexibility, the
appreciation of differences, and the personal approach to the wider world of
business. |
