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.

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, 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), 1 have become a life-long fan . I would like to be involved in the promotion of Chapel Hill and Orange County because I believe 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.
