This seven (7) school addition and renovation for the WUSD was a referendum where Cullen was active in participation at community forums, information sessions, facility tours, board meetings, and architect/owner meetings to provide cost, budget and schedule information for many options. At public meetings, Cullen served as a valuable resource to answer the tough questions, kept the discussion focused on the facts at hand, and acted as a trusted adviser and supporter of the school district’s vision. Cullen also produced a video for community presentations as part of the pre-referendum outreach program.
