Subject: Orange County Economic Development's Advisory Board - recommendation for Ms. Paige Zinn r to fill opening
Members of the Orange County Economic Development Advisory Board have concluded their vote of a top candidate,
among all active applicants currently on file with the County, to file an open vacancy. Today they reached a quorum
decision in favor of Ms. Paige Zinn to replace current board member Tom Underwood (Core Business Sector
representative).
Mr. Underwood's term technically expired on June 30th, but he had agreed to serve until the end of this year, when a
replacement could be nominated. He is retiring on Dec. 31 from his job managing PHE, Inc. and from his seat on my
Advisory Board.
Is this the correct procedure for the BOCC to consider Ms. Paige Zinn for appointment to the Econ. Dev. Advisory Board,
at an upcoming BOCC meeting?
Best regards,
Steve Brantley
Director, Orange County Economic Development

Jon Arvik
Economic Development Advisory Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
See (1) above; in addition, my most recent positions involved the application of specific technical
and business management capabilities to economic growth for private, academic, and
government agencies.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
It has been made plain that the BOCC has made every effort to increase the public good without
a commensurate increase in taxes. However, it is necessary that continued growth of
populations and public services will require an increase in income from new tax resources such
as a growing tax base of successful businesses. I have considerable experience in these areas,

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.

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.

I am interested in serving on the Economic Development Advisory Board because of my
experience with Orange County during our recent plant expansion. I believe Orange
County is working to reach out to businesses more than ever and working together we can
improve communications and collaboration to make Orange County a destination for new
and expanding businesses. I want other companies to see the positive side of Orange
County that AKG has seen in the past year. STAFF COMMENTS: Applied for Economic
Development Advisory Board 05/07/2012.

It would be an honor to serve on the Orange County Economic Development Advisory
Board. As a both a resident and employer in Orange County, I am very interested in
encouraging economic development in our community. I am impressed with the current
work of the County Commissioners and staff involved in economic development and
would appreciate the opportunity to collaborate and partner on this committee. My current
work, funding organizations and small business in Orange County to provide child care
and early childhood programs keeps me very in tune with the economic endeavors of our
county. I feel my background will be a good fit and allow me to analyze and evaluate
suitable actions. STAFF COMMENTS: Applied for Economic Development Advisory
