FW: Still Interested in Serving on Arts Commission Board?
Importance: High
Hi Jeanette,
The Orange County Arts Commission would like to submit the name of volunteer applicant Ashley Nissler for possible
appointment to this advisory board. (see her email below)
We hope she can be appointed ASAP to fill out the remaining term of Andrea Riley, who had to resign from the OCAC
board to take a part -time job with Orange County.
Please let me know when this will be on the BOCC's agenda.
Thanks so much!
Martha

Subject: RE: Still Interested in Serving on Arts Commission Board?
Ashley,
Thanks so much for your interest!
However, our process is not quite that simple. I will first need to submit your name ASAP to the Cleric to the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) for possible appointment by the BOCC. They will then take this up at a meeting sometime
very soon.
If appointed, you will be notified by the Clerk's office, and then will get another email from me.
I'll go ahead and alert the Clerk's office about your interest.
Thanks again!
Martha

writing, I have translated texts and edited manuscripts. I received my B.A.
from Davidson College in 1992, served as a Teaching Assistant through
Fulbright in the former East Germany from 1992 through 1994), and earned
my M.A. from Washington University in St. Louis in 1996. This summer I will
begin work towards an M.F.A. in writing through Warren Wilson s low -

an honor to serve my community.
