Also the assurance of knowing that these facilities are being governed by guidelines, rules and regulations that they have to adhere to and that there are committees to visit these faciliteis to ensure that these guidelines are being carry out. It is difficult enough to have to place our elderly family members in a facility but having the reassurance in knowing that they are being well taken care of makes this transition a lot more bearable. 10 Page 2 of 2 Joyce Jefferies Volunteer Experience: I volunteer at my church, Hospitality- serving guests of the Pastor and greeting members as they enter the church, Sisters of Jubilee- visiting the Women prisons in Raleigh, organizing birthday parties, prayer and fellowship, visiting the sick and shut in.

We provide caregivers for the elderly who need compassionate, non - medical, in -home care and prefer to stay at home rather than move to an assisted living facility. We had several weeks of industry training and expect to begin dementia care training soon with the Alzheimers Foundation of America. We are members of Companion Connection, a national membership organization of professionals devoted to in -home senior care. Through Companion Connection, we receive ongoing education and stay abreast of industry issues, trends and best practices. My interest in aging issues stems from the experience I had caring for my mother. As her health and independence declined, it became critical for us to locate and understand the community resources available to her. Her needs encompassed suitable senior housing, transportation, access to information, and health services. It would have been overwhelming for her alone, and I am gratified that I was able to advocate for her in her final years and help navigate the confusing landscape of options. This experience made me realize the enormity of the problem, especially for seniors who do not have family nearby to help them. It was this experience that prompted me to found Acorn Home Care Services. I also have significant background in management and finance, including 13 Page 2 of 3 several years in start -up companies. Start -ups and local government have something in common: there is usually not enough money, so you must work hard with your team to prioritize and achieve the most important goals. My business background includes: -20+ years in senior roles such as CEO and CFO of start up companies - Former investment banker - Stanford MBA -CFO of the Year, Triangle Business Journal, 2011 This experience allows me to work with other board members to analyze facts, understand financial impacts, prioritize objectives and work with different stakeholders to achieve consensus. Lastly, being Hispanic and fluent in Spanish, I can assist in providing representation and understanding for the many minority residents of Orange County, and the roles they play both as senior citizens and caregivers to the elderly. Six years ago, my wife and I made an elective decision to move to Orange County from the Northeast. The weather, schools and quality of life attracted us as an ideal location to raise our family. With demographic trends and the reputation of our area as a great place to retire, it is critical for our economic vitality and continued quality of life that Orange County be a senior - friendly community. I am proud to live in Orange County and would welcome the opportunity to serve on the Advisory Board on Aging Lorenzo Mejia Community Activities /Organizational Memberships: Recent volunteer activities include: - President, The Woodlands Homeowners Association - Mentor, Venture Mentoring Service, Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED), Durham -Cub Scout leader, Pack 39, Chapel Hill - School Improvement Team: Carrboro Elementary School and Frank Porter Graham Elementary School - Spanish translator, Carrboro Elementary School and Frank Porter Graham Elementary School - Basketball coach: YMCA, rec leagues and local clubs Organizational memberships: - Companion Connection (national membership organization of senior care professionals) - Stanford Business School Alumni Association -The CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Institute For many years, my wife and I have been active volunteers in our children s schools and activities. As our boys have gotten older, these opportunities are diminishing, but my interest in community volunteering remains strong. I would welcome the opportunity to be involved with the Advisory Board on Aging.
