Growth-Raleigh Durham Chapter Member, Bull City Forward, a co-working incubator
setting for social entrepreneurs. Co-organized a breakfast focused on entrepreneurship
for the Hillsborough Chamber and Orange County Schools, March 2011. I am
passionate about pushing forward Orange County's economic development efforts. I see
this as a social justice issue in that we're creating jobs for those who live here or want to
live here. I also see economic development as critical to nurture if we want to continue
offering the quality of life we already have while also expanding efforts in other areas --
social services, recreational opportunities for residents. We must have a county-wide
perspective while respecting the unique characteristics of each area or municipality
within. It would be an honor to serve.
