I would like to be actively involved with the promotion of the arts in Orange County and I believe that my marketing and promotional experience could be of use. I worked for 16 years in the Durham County Library (and am currently working part-time in the Hillsborough Library). As both a patron and employee of public libraries, I think I know a great deal about what patrons are looking for and appreciate in their libraries. I would enjoy being involved with the Orange County Library as a volunteer advisor, although I don't know whether my employment by the Orange County Library would be seen as a conflict of interest. As a thirty-year resident of Orange County (Chapel Hill for nine years, and Efland for 21), I have become a life-long fan . I would like to be involved in the promotion of Chapel Hill and Orange County because I believe I understand what makes this area attractive to residents and visitors alike, and with my experience in both marketing and design, I believe that I can contribute many creative ideas about how to communicate its advantages.
