routinely invested in multiple projects that have a common characteristic of improving the quality
of life in his community. Some of his activities have been:

- "My community work has provided a rich experience in dissecting community
challenges, in working with partnerships where differing points of view are welcomed,
and in nurturing creative and sometimes untraditional approaches to reach a
productive consensus that benefits the broad community. The diversity of passions,
interests, and approaches by my neighbors has been an inspiration to try to do more
in addressing the never ending parade of community challenges of a metropolitan
city." - Paul Bingle
