Donna Baker
Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners
200 South Cameron Street
Hillsborough, NC 27278
Dear Donna:
The Commission for the Environment has one vacancy (Position #14), created by the
recent resignation of Steven Niezgoda because of his relocation to Durham.
The CFE Membership Committee (Chair & Vice - Chair) has reviewed the current list of
applicants and recommends the appointment of Lynne Gronback. Ms. Gronback
teaches environmental science at Cedar Ridge High School and among the reasons the
CFE would like her to serve is that she can help in its outreach efforts, especially among
the school -age population. Ms. Gronback lives in Bingham Township and thus her
membership would strengthen the geographical diversity of the Commission.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Rich Shaw
Land Conservation Manager

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
I WTi: 11Tr1Y
Boards /Commissions applied for:
Commission for the Environment
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My education and private sector background make me well suited for this service. I was a
Biology undergrad and a GIS /Geology concentration in my masters program at NCSU. I was a
Kenan Fellow 2002 -2004 and worked to incorporate climate change education curricular goals
into the then new NC Standard Course of study. I worked with Dr. Bill Schlesinger who, at the
time, served as Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment. As a fellow, I worked in the
CO2 forest on Eubanks Road to understand the impacts of Climate Change on local
ecosystems. In 2005 I worked with the Greenbridge building group in the planning stages of that
project. I am a certified AP Environmental Science and AP Biology teacher as well as an
International Baccalaureate Environmental Systems and Societies teacher at Cedar Ridge High
School. Prior to teaching, I worked in Public Relations and Advertising in Greensboro and then in
Chapel Hill. In my Chapel Hill work, I worked on several commercial property marketing
campaigns most notably, Europa Center.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
As I approach the end of my teaching career, I am interested in moving into the sustainable
property development and /or sustainable affordable housing arena. I feel like this committee will
help me better understand the needs of our local environment and how we can better educate
the public about areas of weakness and to become a better steward of the beautiful land around
us and how we can grow in a sustainable way.

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I graduated in December from UNC - Wilmington with an M.S. in Environmental Studies, and am
pursuing a career in environmental education and outreach. My coursework on various
environmental issues is especially relevant to this board; in addition, I taught an undergraduate

board would allow me to combine my personal interests with my educational background.

Boards /Commissions applied for:
Commission for the Environment
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have a background in management consulting and business management. I attending UNC
Chapel Hill as an undergraduate and studied political science and urban and regional planning.
After 7 years of consulting in Washington DC, I came back to UNC Chapel Hill to get a Masters
in Business Administration and just graduated in May. My concentrations were in Sustainable
Enterprise, Entrepreneurship, and Corporate Finance and Accounting. While getting my MBA I
was selected as a Leadership Fellow for the Center for Sustainable Enterprise at Kenan - Flagler,
and was also elected as the President of the Entrepreneurship club. I worked closed with the
Campus Y, The Cube (social- enterprise incubator on campus), 1789 and Launch Chapel Hill to
connect and expose MBAs to sustainable and environmental startups in the area.
Since getting my MBA I have worked for a solar developer, and two startups that have center
their business around sustainability and the environment. The reason I came back to NC to get
my MBA was to grow my business acumen in sustainable enterprise and clean energy, and
focus on building smart and socially responsible businesses in North Carolina.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I want to serve on this board because I want to stop sitting on the sidelines and get involved in
my local government. I have strong qualities that can benefit the Commission (a business
acumen, focus on sustainability and the environment, and a background in consulting and to
manage ambiguous projects and provide relevant information to be used in an executive
manner), and a perspective that is probably under - represented (as a young adult) in our local

want to use my background and experience to serve on the Commission for the Environment.

service and a strong advocate of preventive services to enhance the quality of life of citizens, as
well as the burden on service providers. Additionally, I am an advocate of integrating public
health as a critical element of emergency planning and response. I have, nor desire, no political
or party affiliations, although realize which side often prevails in the balance of science and
politics.

Supplemental Questions:
Orange County Board of Adjustment (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Please list the work /volunteer experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise
for this board.
My experience on the Planning Board gives me a good background for the Bd of Adj. As CEO of
a company, I have a lot of experience with contract law.
What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Board of Adjustment?
Board members must be disinterested parties to cases. They should know something about the
property rules of the County. They should be long -time residents of Orange County and have a
sense of the various communities and their histories on this county.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
Fair resolutions of cases consistent with the rules and diverse interests of Orange County
residents.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
Preventing urban sprawl. Protecting water resources. Balanced tax base. Providing essential
services to residents.
What role should the Board of Adjustment take in guiding and regulating growth?
The Board makes judgments on cases before it based on the presentations of opposing parties
The suggestion that the Board has a philosophy suggests it should be a politically appointed
Board and not a legal or quasi -legal Board, which it is.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
Try to achieve a consensus that decisions are consistent with these goals and priorities. The
Board acts on cases that should have legal elements that must be considered primary, but in the
context of Orange County goals.
Orange Water & Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Please list /explain your experience, either professionally and /or from other

In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work /volunteer
experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board.

What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
Protect the water quality for future residents. Plan water strategy for the future.
What is OWASA's role in growth /development issues?
OWASA serves the needs of the Urban Services Boundary including Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
They are increasing in density and population size. OWASA has to assure that safe, clean water
is available to meet the long -term needs of these communities. Negotiations with other
communities will be an essential element for these resources and I can deal with that.

I am a local attorney with two young children. I have a lot of experience serving on nonprofit
boards and advising nonprofits on legal and management issues. I am also currently working on
getting a graduate certificate in nonprofit management at UNC. I love to read and we visit the

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:

access to the wonderful services this library provides. I have met a number of low income
families in the Chapel Hill area who are unaware of all of the services at the library and I would
like to help ensure that all of our citizens understand the resources available to them. Love of
learning is critical for young children and I want to help foster that love with communities who
