I live in Chapel Hill and own a small business, the qi garden, in Historic Hillsborough. Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: none Boards /Commissions applied for: Chapel Hill /Orange County Visitors Bureau Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have been in Human Resources and Management Consulting for almost 18 years. I maintain my professional day job as a consultant with Aon Corporation part -time and opened a small business in April 2013 in downtown Hillsborough. I have experience developing new business, writing and managing RFP s (requests for proposal) and managing projects; working with large, small and diverse teams. And I have spent many of my professional years recruiting individuals and teams for new projects for clients both commercial clients in private industry and in the federal sector. I have some experience working with state and local agencies but more on the federal side. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Orange County for 15 years I have never served on any board and have an interest in doing so. Even moreso now that I own a small business in downtown Hillsborough. So many people come into the shop from so many places and just love Orange County. Many people are interested in moving to Orange county that don t already live here. We get so many visitors from Greensboro, Burlington, Virginia as well as those in the Triangle just discovering or in some cases re- discovering Orange county. And many have become regular customers. We hear again and again what a great job Hillsborough in particular is doing to create a creative vibe and it s so peaceful. I am interested in helping Orange county grow and attract more visitors Page 2 of 2 each year to help all of our businesses grow and thrive.

Co- organized a breakfast focused on entrepreneurship for the Hillsborough Chamber and Orange County Schools, March 2011. 1 am passionate about pushing forward Orange County's economic development efforts. 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.

Worked in 1980s with Owensboro Daviess County (KY) Tourism Commission to create the IBMA World of Bluegrass events which moved to Raleigh in 2013.

I was on the Wilkes County Cultural Council for the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area during the time of its creation and launch. I was the college s representative to High Country Host and Advantage West NC. Through those roles I took the National Park Service s intensive Gateway Community training in 2006.

Ultimately, I would like to see Orange County to develop a new body, separate from currently existing ones, that approaches arts, culture, festivals, and the creative industries (web design, architecture, metal work, app development, and etc) totally from the business and economic development perspective. Conflict of Interest: Possible perception. CH /OCCVB does not fund ArtsCenter activities. Occasionally, however, the CVB includes our events among several in its ad buys.
