Rifat
Rifat "James" Sivisoglu
County Board District  1
OUR APOLOGIES FOR INCORRECTLY
SAYING DISTRICT 2 LAST WEEK
http://www.voterifat.com/


Top Priority:  Fiscal Responsibility
As a former Republican, James' focus is on what had made that party successful in the past, sound financial management. Now a fiscally-conservative Democrat, James' top priority is to ensure that every tax dollar is collected equitably and spent rationally:
·   Fiscally Responsible
You don't plan corporate budgets on hoped-for revenues, and shouldn't in county budgets either.
·   Challenging Group-Think
Current board members got us into this fiscal mess  - it will take new, independent and objective board members to get us out.

Education:
Bachelors in Engineering and an MBA, with honors, from Boston University

Professional Background:
Over 25 years of business management experience with firms like Alcatel (at the Director level); has lived and worked in the US and internationally; has dealt with major business and political leaders, for example structuring and negotiating a $40 million international manufacturing joint venture.
 
James brings both a solid management sense and a broad perspective to the DuPage County Board - things we absolutely must have to thrive in the modern world.
 
Currently he serves as a graduate and undergraduate faculty member at the Elmhurst College Center for Business and Economics.
