Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
Thirty years experience in non- profit/government partnerships using the arts for tourism and
economic development. Worked in 1980s with Owensboro Daviess County (KY) Tourism
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
that role worked closely with the North Wilkesboro TDA and served on the Tourism Committee
of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce. 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.
As Director of Appalshop in Whitesburg, KY, I worked directly with state and regional tourism
agencies, the TourSEKY project, and Appalachian Regional Commission. I was a paid
consultant for the Letcher County KY Tourism Commission (2010 -2011) securing $30,000 in
funding for a public engagement process resulting in a Coal Heritage Trail and a Quilt Trail and
a new county tourism brochure.
Returning to Orange County in April 2012, I 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
Chapel Hill- Carrboro Chamber and joined Carrboro s Arts Committee and ESC.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Art Menius
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.

Community Activities /Organizational Memberships:
In 2011 1 helped to found the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition (CBC), and much of my volunteer
effort goes to things in the community that promote healthier transportation options,
including safer biking and walking conditions, and more use of non -car forms of
transportation when possible. In addition to the CBC, I have served on Carrboro s
Transportation Advisory Board for several terms and a total of over 20 years. My most
recent term just ended in February of 2014. 1 am the recipient of the NCPA 2011 Marvin
Collins Planning Award, an award given for volunteer efforts in transportation. I hosted
the state -wide NC Bike Summit last year in Carrboro, and as a member of the CBC
brought the first Open Streets event to Carrboro in 2013, which was such a success that
the Town made it part of their parks and recreation program in 2014. The CBC won a
Diversity award from UNC in April of 2014 for its work with lower income community
teaching them bike maintenance skills and giving them bike lights.
Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
Boards /Commissions applied for:
Orange Unified Transportation Board
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
In addition to the work I do in the community, I work with other transportation advocates, and
have a good rapport with all of them. When I served on Carrboro s Transportation Advisory
Board, I attended most of the Transit Partners Meetings, so I am very familiar with the Transit
system. I am a nationally certified LCI instructor with the League of American Bicyclists, and can
help with classes for both children and adults to train them not only with feeling more
comfortable on bikes, but to show them how to be better drivers around bikes as well.

I have 2 main reasons: I think Orange County is losing out on a lot of bicycle tourism dollars, and
would like to see that explored. Oregon brings in over $400 million in bicycle tourism dollars, and
the only thing they really have that we don t have is buy -in on both regional and state levels. I
have ridden the Orange County rural roads for over 30 years, and am amazed at how purely
beautiful they remain. My other reason is to share what I have learned from biking around this
country and Canada to make cycling safer for all, and to provide more education.
Conflict of Interest:
Supplemental Questions:
Work Experience: Design and publication of books /technical drawing of charts and maps
has been my profession for the last 20+ years. I am the head of the design and
production department at UNC Press, a nationally known and respected book publisher.
Volunteer Experience: I have served on the Carrboro Transportation Advisory Board for a
total of 20 years since 1985. 1 have also served on the Chapel Hill Bike Pedestrian Board,
and the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition. I have served on the Library Services Taskforce and 2
of the previous Horace Williams Tract task forces (now called Chapel Hill North). Last
year I received an award from the NC Planners Assoc. (the Marvin Collins award) for my
volunteer work in this area. I have attended most of the Transit Partners meetings over
the last two years. I have also served on the Smith Level Road Task Force, and have
assisted with several bus, bike, and pedestrian activities. I think all of this would be an
asset on this board.
Education: BFA 77 UNC with a concentration in Set Design and technical Theatre,
Architural Drafting degree from Durham Tech, several classes taken over the ears in
subjects renging from sign language to Portugese to computer software (Photoshop,

At this time I have none, but have served on HOA boards and Farmers Market boards in
the past.
Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
None.
Boards /Commissions applied for:
Orange Unified Transportation Board
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
Having served as President of a Home Owners Association and as Vice President/Treasurer of
a local Farmers Market I feel that I am well qualified to work with other members of the board to
formulate reasonable policies as regards the following:
1. Mass transit (light rail /bus /carpool
2. Bicycle paths /trails
3. Walking paths /trails
Even though Orange County is thought of as a very progressive county there is a dearth of mass
transit/walking /bicycling paths /trails.
It is my firm belief that every citizen of this county should have the ability to either walk or bicycle
anywhere in the county or take mass transit (light rail /bus) to any major destination in the county
or between other counties (intra and inter transportation).
