Chapel Hill
Female
Caucasian
Community Activities /Organizational Memberships:
I am a member of the Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce and the Hillsborough
Downtown Merchants Association. 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

each year to help all of our businesses grow and thrive.

Chapel Hill /Orange County Visitors Bureau
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have operated a marketing communications company for the last 13 years here in Orange
County and serve non - profits, university -based programs and units, as well as small businesses.
I would bring with me my knowledge of marketing to a diverse set of audiences as well as
understanding of the principles of marketing.
My board service, current and past, has informed my desire to help promote our county as a
destination.
I lived in Chapel Hill for 11 years and have lived in rural Orange for 24 years.
My current and past board and volunteer experience in mental health, education, and at the
chamber level enable me to bring a broad perspective to any endeavor.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I see tourism and visitors services as a tool for economic development. Yes, it is an industry that
gives a community opportunities to improve itself from a visual and experiential perspective. But
beyond that, it is industry and we need that -- as long as it is consistent with our values -- to grow
our tax base. This in turn enables us to continue to have jobs to our residents and to build our
capacity to serve our most vulnerable populations. This is not an easy balance, but one that I m
proud our county attends to.
Conflict of Interest:
We live in a small community and there is always a need to check ourselves and our motives
when it comes to conflicts of interest. I have prior and current working relationships with Orange
County Government and have done work for the Visitors Bureau. I would not entertain work for
financial compensation with the latter while serving on its board. I am assuming the board has a
conflict of interest policy and, if so, would abide by it.

Other Comments:
In addition to the other activities mentioned above, I am also a: Member, Chapel Hill
Chamber of Commerce; Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce; Association for Corporate
Growth - Raleigh Durham Chapter Member, Bull City Forward, a co- working incubator
setting for social entrepreneurs. Co- organized a breakfast focused on entrepreneurship
for the Hillsborough Chamber and Orange County Schools, March 2011. I 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.

Commission to create the IBMA World of Bluegrass events which moved to Raleigh in 2013.
Director of Marketing and Sponsorship for MerleFest at Wilkes Community College, building
MerleFest into an international brand and an event generating $16M in local economic impact. In

a new county tourism brochure.
Returning to Orange County in April 2012, 1 obtained a State historical marker, Carrboro s first,
for Libba Cotten. Vice -Chair McKee took part in the Sept 2013 dedication. I became active in the

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Using arts, culture, and creativity for tourism development is at the core of my life s work.
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.

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My master s degree in Folklore from UNC- Chapel Hill affords me a grounding in community -
based aesthetic culture. For the past three years I have directed the North Carolina Folklife
Institute, a statewide nonprofit based in Durham dedicated to preserving and promoting
traditional arts and cultures throughout the state. I have many connections in arts communities
from policy makers and consultants to working artists, community arts activists, and teachers.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I want to serve my local community and collaborate with others in the arts community. I would
also like to learn more about how decisions about arts and culture are made at the county level
and to contribute to increasing access to and diversity within the arts.
Conflict of Interest:
The only potential conflict of interest would be if my organization was working on a project in
Orange County or with a community partner who was applying for a grant from the Arts
Commission. Because we are a statewide organization, this is a possibility (in which case i
would abstain from that vote etc.) but there are no plans to work in Orange County at this time.

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My professional background has covered much of the ground that will be
necessary to make this position successful. To pay for my undergraduate education at UNC, I
worked a job that took me to every corner of the county. While in school, I founded the radio
news program that continues to rank among the country's best. I served as an on -air personality
and News Director at WCHL. These news roles rooted me in the community and allowed me an
excellent perspective on the issues we face.
I spent more than four years employed by the Journalism School on the campus of UNC Chapel
Hill, working with students, faculty and the general administration. Most recently, I have worked
on the client side of media buying for an advertising agency with a strong base of clients in and
around the Triangle. Throughout this time, I have worked for the Athletics Department at UNC to
make the best experience possible for visitors who attend Basketball, Football and olympic
sporting events.
Experiences from all of those areas color my current skill set, which I would enjoy bringing to
