Advisory Board on Aging
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I am energized by solving problems and taking on challenges. With over 1 person turning 50
every second due to the dramatic achievements in public health, Orange County is poised to see
a 67% increase in persons over 65 and a 43% increase in persons over 85 in the next 10
years. This trend continues through 2030 when persons over 65 will again increase by 42% and
over 85 by 70%. Orange county is a leader in serving its senior population and I want to
contribute to preparing and meeting these needs throughout the next 20 years.
Although I worked as a chemical engineer for 15 years, I recently returned to school to get a BA
in Multidisciplinary studies, with an emphasis on social sciences and the Socio-Ecological Model
which shows that the health of an individual is based not just on the person but withing the
greater context of his relationships, his community and his society. Because of my interest in the
aging process, I am currently completing a Masters in Gerontology from the University of
Southern California. Through this program I have been able to receive the training and tools that
will aid me in pursuing my goal of improving the disparity in the aging experience between the
11
Page 2 of 2 Susan Adams
different economic classes. The research area where I am basing my concentration consists of
early depression intervention for the home caregiver. Many home caregivers are thrust into their
duties with little to no training and as more residents, especially in the rural areas, are deciding
to age in place there will be a need for increased programs to address the adult child or
spousal caregiver, many of whom are over 50.
1 am excited to be beginning this new phase of my life as I turn 50, and consider myself to be a
life-long learner who believes that we are all part of something larger and there is purpose to all
our lives. My belief system influences all I do and I value responsibility and high ethical
standards. I believe that the strategic methods of problem solving I utilized as an engineer
allows me to find and evaluate alternatives and seek innovative ways to get things done. I
believe in community involvement as I was a member of the School Improvement Team (SIT)
committee for McDougle Middle School for 2 years, worked as a volunteer at the Chapel Hill
Museum for 3 years, and have been a member of the MAC -Mandarin Advisory Council for the
dual language program in CHCCS since it began and my daughter has been part of the program
for the past 8 years. As my children are growing up and moving on to new goals, I feel that I too
must focus my time and energies on the future.
I appreciate your time in considering me for this position.

As a person who is aging I recognize the necessity of recognizing how this process effects
people physically and mentally. I have worked as a geriatric social worker and am a long time
believer in the connection of maintaining physical and mental activities as well as connection to
the larger community to help people age with integrity and dignity. Recently retiring as a high
school teacher, I clearly see the importance of maintaining ties to a larger community to lessen
the isolation created with retirement. I would like the opportunity to bring my ideas to a larger
group in order to be more inclusive of the aging population.

Assure appropriate guidelines are followed with developers, and propose ways to increase
energy efficiency and indoor air quality
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related

Sustainable/Smart Development of land should be the norm in our future. My
understanding is, it requires legislative approval for ordinances that have certain
requirements. We should do as many things possible to support environmentally
responsible development, such as creating solar easements for future renewable power
use, smarter energy efficiency improvements in new construction, Smart Grid
development, or work on ways to propose changes in the legislature to better protect our
environment on local levels. STAFF COMMENTS: Applied for Commission for the
