BACKGROUND: The RTRP organization has been a part of the State of North Carolina's broad economic development marketing efforts for almost 20 years. Orange County is one of the 13 counties historically associated with the Research Triangle Regional Partnership (RTRP), which itself is one of 7 statewide regional agencies originally established by the N.C. General Assembly. In the past, BOCC chose to serve on this board when the BOCC chose its annual board /commissions but it has recently been brought to staff's attention that there are currently two open Orange County BOCC member positions for the Research Triangle Regional Partnership (RTRP), as follows: (1) Position to complete the 1 remaining year of a 2 -year term (6/30/2012- 6/30/2014 — currently vacant) (2) Position to begin a new 2 -year term - 6/30/13 to 6/30/2015 (spot was recently filled by Commissioner Price) Commissioner Price has indicated that she would like to continue to serve and is interested in the two year term that would expire June 30, 2015. For the second board member position, Chair Jacobs has suggested, since the presidents of the Raleigh and Durham Chambers of Commerce are board members for Wake County and Durham County, and attend the RTRP's bi- annual meeting, we might want to invite a Chamber president/member, and he said that the Hillsborough /Orange County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Margaret Cannell, is very interested. Mr. Brantley, as ED Director, currently sits in the 3rd board member spot, which is historically without a specific term. It is customary within the RTRP that each county economic developer, among its 13- member counties, attends the monthly meetings, and continues in that capacity from year to year. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION(S): Consider making an appointment(s) to the Research Triangle Regional Partnership Board.
