Elect Robert Owens for Dighton-Rehoboth School Committee

I am writing to introduce myself to the community as a candidate for the DR district school committee position. My name is Robert Owens, and while I was not a lifelong resident of our town and I did not graduate from DR high school, I am a proud product of our K-8 schools.

During my teenage years I joined the US Naval Sea Cadets, a Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. My experiences and influences led me to pursued a degree from Norwich University – The Military College of Vermont. As a civilian I earned my Bachelors of Science in Biology and as part of a study abroad program I earned a Certification in Japanese Language and Culture from Kanagawa University.

Since then, I have been employed at Siemens Healthineers for over a decade. My current position is Senior Biochemist for organic chemistry in the pre-development of immunoassays. In my role, I have gained extensive experience in analyzing data, communicating that data so it is understandable, and collaborating with a diverse team of scientists, engineers and regulatory bodies to solve complex problems.

Throughout my time at university, I volunteered and was eventually employed as a mentor for the Boys and Girls Club afterschool program. My experience studying abroad has also taught me the importance of cultural diversity and the value of a well-rounded education. Siemens has had a long-standing relationship with the local community schools providing science day activities which I participate in. Many times, I had the privilege to represent Siemens for The League School of Greater Boston collaboration and fundraising events.

My commitment to education extends beyond my professional life however. Currently I am a board member of the regional Special Education Parent Advisory Council. My daughter attends Palmer

River, and my wife is an elementary and middle school librarian. As a family, we value education and believe that every child deserves access to a high-quality education and that our schools play a critical role in shaping the future of our community.

If elected, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our schools continue to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all students. The highest priority is seeing that our children graduate high school and are prepared for success in college or the workforce, equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and mindset to thrive in their chosen paths and make positive contributions to society.

I will use my combined experiences including data analysis and collaboration to help identify areas where our schools can improve and work with other committee members to develop practical solutions.

Thank you for considering my candidacy, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve our community.

If you have any questions or want to meet up for coffee you can reach me any of the following ways: Bob4DR@gmail.com, www. facebook.com/Bob4DR, or call or text me at (781) 269-2241.

Sincerely,

Robert Owens
