Thom From: Martha Shannon - Orange County Arts Commission Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 9:18 AM To: Thom Freeman Subject: FW: Resigning from Board after June Importance: High Hi Thom, Devra Thomas, my current Board Chair, is moving to Morehead City at the end of June, 2015 so we'll need to replace her on the Arts Commission advisory board. Just wondered if the man who was recently appointed by the BOCC (but didn't get to serve because of computer error in number of vacancies)would be able to serve beginning in August, 2015. Would this item have to go back to the BOCC, or could you just notify him of an unexpected opening on our board? Please advise. Thanks!

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: This would be my first. Boards/Commissions applied for: Arts Commission Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an amateur musician, I believe I have insights that would be of benefit to the Arts Commission. While I have little talent for visual arts myself, I do greatly appreciate and support it s value and contributions to, as Barry Jacobs notes, what makes Orange County special. The fact that my daughter received a full scholarship for Art School at VCU may suggest the same even in my own home. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I would like to be more involved in my community and recognizing my passion for the arts, and the musical arts in particular, and even technical skills with respect to staging and several years of project management, after seeing the vacancies on the Arts Commission and the fact that regular meetings would fit easily with my work schedule, I was compelled to apply!
