Boards/Commissions applied for: Hillsborough Planning Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Conflict of Interest: 5 Page 2 of 3 Gerald Ponder Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I outlined my experience and expertise to a great degree in my response to question 1. Specifically, though, I believe that I have extensive experience and expertise in A. data-based decision making through my time on the school board and through my administrative career. B. Curriculum policy and instructional practice, including distance education and technology- based teaching and learning applications as well as research-based and effective instructional models. C. Student engagement and success practices that enhance re-enrollment and graduation rates. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have both personal and professional knowledge reasons, as well as a commitment to the mission of community colleges, for wanting to serve. While I have never taught or served as administrator at a Community College, I had a 42 year career as an educator both at the K-12 and higher education levels in 4 states. In North Carolina, I was department head at UNCG in a department where I initiated a community college emphasis as a graduate program. A number of Conmunity College leaders, including Don Cameron, then President of GTCC, served as advisors for the initiative. I also served as major advisor for several doctoral candidates who have since become Community College leaders, including Walter Bartlett, President of Piedmont Community College in Roxboro. Most recently I served as Associate Dean at NC State in the College of Education, which houses the Higher Education program and has a long history of preparing community college leaders. I also taught a course in college teaching for some years, a course which included a number of Community College teachers. While in Texas, I served two terms on the Denton, Texas, School Board, so I have experience at putting the interests of students and the community above personal agendas. On a personal note, I have a strong belief in the mission of community colleges, and I strongly support the political directions of President Obama and the Democratic Presidentual candidates to make Community College tuition-free as a way to build the capacity of young citizens in commerce, community, and citizenship. On another personal note, my daughter is the CEO of a Chicago nonprofit called One Million Degrees (OMD). OMD's mission is to provide scholarship and soft skills development to community college students in Chicago so they will have a more successful transition to a corporate career and a middle class lifestyle. In many ways, this mission of providing academic and workforce training to yield a better family and civic life epitomizes the mission I see for community colleges. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? I think that each recommendation for improvements has to be tempered with the caveat that community colleges in North Carolina have been historically underfunded, a situation made worse by recent budget actions by the legislature. Nevertheless, there are improvements that 6 Page 3 of 3 Gerald Ponder can be made or can serve as guidelines. 1. Hillsborough and Orange County have a rich heritage and an exceptional group of writers and artists. DTCC could serve as a venue for continuing education and other community-based programs that focus on the arts, literature, and history of Hillsborough and Orange County. There might in the future be opportunities for town/county/DTCC partnership on facilities (theater space, museum space, etc) and internships (WHOP, history and archaeology, literary or environmental festivals, etc). 2. The county and its businesses can all benefit from a robust and successful workforce preparedness program at DTCC. That plan should include supports for student success as well as a regular and rigorous curriculum review to insure that both the college transfer and workforce functions of DTCC are current and meeting the needs of the county. I would include in that review the possibility of offering training and certificates certifying knowledge and skills in emerging areas such as green energy, new health care fields, and gerontological care. 3. As part of a student success program that benefits students, employers, higher education and other members of the Orange County community, "transition review teams"that could include student advocate members from DTCC, school districts, and businesses and higher education institutions that receive DTCC students could help set policies and practices that help the transitions into and out of DTCC for incoming and graduating students. As a disabled person myself, I am particularly interested in insuring that ADA guidelines are in force for facilities and that genuine opportunities exist for disabled persons to receive and benefit from a DTCC education. I will be happy to provide further information or to modify my answers to another format if requested by the BOCC. Thanks. Work Experience: 42 years in K-12 and higher education, including HS teacher, university faculty member, and administrator (most recently dept. head at UNCG and Associate Dean at NC State). Volunteer Experience: 6 years (two terms) on school board in Denton, TX, Kiwanis, community foundation (Greensboro), Early College planning committee (Wake County) church finance and other committees Education: BA, MA, University of Arkansas PhD, University of Texas at Austin Other Comments: I have recently retired and hope to use knowledge, skills, and experience in purposeful community service. I also am disabled (mobility) from MS and would like to contribute in areas of accessibility and disability rights and support. Human Relations Council, especially, seems most aligned with my interests.

I have taught at two universities and one community college. Most recently, I served on a volunteer committee for the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools to review their vocational curriculum. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am deeply committed to the success of our community college system. As a project coordinator for a STEM project at Florida A&M, I counseled students who would not have been able to afford college if they had not been able to complete their general education credits at the community college. For many students, especially those in rural and under-funded urban high schools, the community college helps build the study skills and academic independence needed to be successful in a 4-year school. The community college also serves the needs of adult learners who need basic academic and technical skills. This is a population that I believe is not always well represented by academic administrators.

Durham Technical Community College is a vital source of education to many individuals seeking to improve their lifestyles, as well as their economic status within Orange County. Due to the population growth we are seeing in this area; it is imperative DTCC be on the forefront to provide the necessary tools for our residents to be competitive in the 21 st centuryjob market. One of the major improvements DTCC can implement now and in the future is a science and mathematics program. Because we live in the shadow of the UNC Hospital, there is a high demand in the field of clinical research, medical, scientific and mathematical engineering. If we continue to grow both economically and socially in this area, and attract new businesses that highlight these particular career, we must be able to readily produce the individuals who can meet the demand, rather than recruit others from around the world to fulfill these perspective positions. Orange County residents deserve the opportunity to take advantage of the high income jobs offered in their area. DTCC can provide the residents here that opportunity through the benefits of a quality education. DTCC needs to improve its recruitment process by aggressively offering courses that target our area and its'desire and need to be relevant. With DTCC's commitment to Orange County residents, we can readily be one of the most influential places to reside in North Carolina. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my interest with DTCC and the privilege to serve my community of Orange County with pride and respect.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Water resources (availability, supply, conservation, reclaimation) are a preeminent issue for all society even now and will become moreso in the future. I hope my technical background will be of use to OWASA. Conflict of Interest: 17 Page 2 of 3 James Fickle Agricultural Preservation Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: BS/MS/PhD degrees from Texas Tech University and University of Illinois followed by 40 years experience in applied research and regulatory affairs in agriculture. I am familiar with production systems ranging from large operations to local market-garden farms with diverse production integrating crop and animal enterprises. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have been in Agriculture for my entire career and would like Agriculture to continue to be a viable way of life in what has become a heavily urbanized area (Research Triangle metropolitan area). I am sympathetic with the challenges of continuing agricultural lifestyles and need to adapt to changing needs brought on by urbanization. While large mechanized broadacre farms will continue to decrease in number in metropolitan areas, we have an opportunity to preserve agricultural areas which have production suited to the urban area and local markets. Conflict of Interest: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Background, education and experience relevant to this board: BS/MS/PhD degrees from Texas Tech University and University of Illinois followed by 40 years experience in applied research and regulatory affairs in agriculture. While with industry, my employers (and I as their representative) had occasion to use the services of the Community Colleges in the areas where I worked. More specifically, we used summer interns as technical assistants in field and laboratory work. While Durham Technical is not agriculturally oriented, I suggest my experience would be useful, giving me a broad perspective applicable to the many disciplines taught at Durham Technical. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I feel the community college system is a critical part of our overall educational system and while it makes many contributions to American Industry, more can be done. Allegiances of Durham Technical with local industry no doubt exist, but is a particular area that can be strengthened to increase American competitiveness, particularly in the biotechnical, mechanical, electrical and electronic trades. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? As suggested above, strengthen ties with local industry to enable curriculum paths leading to careers in industry.

Provision for supply, delivery and stewardship of water resources for Orange County. I have no specific items to accomplish, but do have an interest in water reuse as a means of minimizing impact on available resources. What is OWASA's role in growth/development issues? I think OWASA works within the larger needs of county and its municipalities. Therein the provision, delivery and stewardship of water resources is the specific perview of OWASA. Where growth and development is under consideration of the various branches of county and municipal government, OWASA would be active in helping to implement those items having to do with water. Other Comments: I would like to serve on the OWASA board as water availability, use and quality are paramount to the county's future. I suggest my technical background in agriculture will allow me to quickly become knowledgeable on local issues and challenges.

At DPI I worked with Superintendent Atkinson as she sought greater cooperation with the Community College system as part of an effort to provide students with more opportunities while still in high school.At UNC, our students take courses in their local communities over the summer to attain credit for coursework towards their degree and many students attend the community colleges before coming to the University for their junior and senior years. In both institutions the community college system is critical for the success of every student, our economy, and the state. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Throughout my experiences I have learned how the community college system is an important, and occasionally overlooked, piece of our public education system. The community college system is at an intersection for students who are exploring careers, preparing for four year institutions, seeking job training, or simply furthering themselves. I have witnessed students who were able to attain their certification as a CNA, allowing them to work during their college years while also pursuing their RN degress. That is because of programs offered by our community colleges. They go into four year institutions with a significant leg up on their campuses and in their programs. Other students attend community colleges during their high school years while earning credit that allows them to both earn credit to graduate high school and earn credit towards their bachelor degree in our state universities. I am committed to the success of our community colleges because of the role it plays for state s students. We need someone to serve as our representative on the DTCC board who is committed to that success, but also committed to working with both of our county s school systems to ensure students know of and have access to all of the opportunities to DTCC provides. Additionally, I am committed to the goal of making our students college, career, and citizenship ready and believe that DTCC and all 50 of our state s community colleges are an integral part of that mission. Just as important to our community is the opportunity to enhance job training and skills development. As we work to bring more businesses to Orange County, they will require potential employees with the skills and training required. DTCC is a vital asset to growing our local talent pool right here in Orange County that will allow our county and our residents to compete with communities across the state and country. As a trustee, I will be 100% committed to ensuring we stay ahead of the game when it comes to job skills development for DTCC generally and the Orange County campus in particular. However, our representative will have to be committed to limiting the burden to attend classes with DTCC. With the default rate among community college students on the rise, our representative will have be committed to ensuring affordability. Programs must remain affordable for students with innovative ways to help students graduate with as little debt as possible. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. In the roles I ve served in in the community, I ve had to interact with a great deal of people from a variety of paths in life. That gave me a sense of what the people of Orange County want and what they need. What they need is development that is thoughtful, that will bring in tax revenue, and increases our quality of life. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? 23 Page 3 of 3 Matt Hughes As a young person living in the county, who is also a lifelong resident, I think I bring in a unique view to the Board. I m someone that knows what Orange County was like not that long ago and what development should look like as a young person who wants to stay local. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I believe this Board should represent the needs and interests of both Orange County government and the citizens of our community. Their mission should be to seek middle ground between these two groups and work with developers to implement commonsense regulations on development, especially if there could be a negative environmental or economic impact. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Smart planning and planning for the future. Many communities that surround Orange County are not planned smartly and tend to divide those within their communities. I think that smart planning that seeks to create a sense of community, while also making sure that we are economically sound and welcoming to new residents and businesses is paramount to ensuring that we have smart growth that we can be proud of. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board should certainly take a guiding role in the growth of our community. Smart growth is one that is planned deliberately and carefully, but that doesn t gum up the works of bringing needed economic activity to Orange County. It is the Planning Board s responsibility to balance the needs of the residents of Orange County, Orange County government, and developers in order to reach a comprehensive understanding on development. The role is not to block growth, but it facilitate growth. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? First and foremost,the Planning Board should implement greater collaboration with area governments so that planning can be more unified in nature.The Triangle is a great place to live,work,and play with a great deal of economic activity taking place across county lines. Secondly,the Planning Board should be working to ensure that the growth of Orange County is sustainable in water usage,energy usage,and smartly protecting and using our natural resources.This is all achieved by finding balance and being innovative. Most importantly, I would advocate for a high quality of life for Orange County residents by working hard on the sustainability and collaborative goals as I believe those are two of the most important goals the Planning Board could or should have. Looking towards the future is often hard,but we cannot soothe current needs without thinking about future actions and we cannot work to soothe those needs without working as part of the whole.

At Montgomery County Community College (MCCC, Blue Bell, PA) I was initially a teaching faculty member and later became an administrator, directing the Medical Laboratory Technician and Phlebotomy Technician Programs. I retired in 2013 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I taught clinical (medical) laboratory science, conducted educational and medical science research, and served the residents of North Carolina through community service projects. My formal education includes a PhD in educational psychology from Temple University and a BS in medical technology from Purdue University. I am presently an independent contractor working part time on special projects in the Department of Allied Health Sciences, School of Medicine, UNC-Chapel Hill. The following examples highlight areas in which I have experience that are relevant to the open position: a€¢Academic policy development in community college and university program settings a€¢College and program accreditation, including Middle States, National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science a€¢Program evaluation, planning, and development, such as a new phlebotomy program at MCCC and new physician assistant program at UNC-Chapel Hill a€¢hService on advisory boards and committees at MCCC, UNC-Chapel Hill, and for professional organizations in my discipline a€¢Public speaking, including presentations at local, state, and national meetings 25 Page 2 of 2 Rebecca Laudicina MoWriting, including preparing grant proposals, writing research articles, writing applications for permission to plan and establish new programs at UNC-Chapel Hill a€¢Funding, including a successful track record with private foundations and individuals Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I would like to serve on the DTCC Board of Trustees/Board of Directors because I am a strong advocate for community college education and would like to help strengthen the presence of DTCC in Orange County. I am aware of the importance of an educated populace at all levels of employment and believe that a community college is one way to address a goal of educating all residents. I know that a major research university does not provide the range of educational programs needed in technical/vocational areas and see this as one role of a community college which can respond to local needs. Community colleges are also excellent entry points for nontraditional students and for those students with limited financial resources. Finally, I believe my background, education, and experience has prepared me to contribute to this open position.

I successfully marketed continuing education and degree programs as marketing director of Kenan-Flagler Business School. As a Chamber leader, I learned how many local businesses have immediate need for skilled, trained and/or certified employees and cannot find them. Similarly, my work on the CTE committee showed me how much opportunity and demand there is for technical and job training that the school system simply cannot provide. As part of my own work, I provide writing instruction in companies and through DTCC s Small Business Center, giving me a firsthand view of the importance and impact of adult/continuing education. Finally, I m the granddaughter of two college administrators, a teacher and a librarian, and my mother worked for ElderHostel at UNC for years.

I also believe that we have a need for more STEM trained workers so we need to encourage more innovative and exciting programs in the STEM fields and encourage more under represented groups to participate in these programs.

My work at both of those levels of government gave me hands on experience with government budget processes and funding requirements; as well as hands on experience with funding applications and appeals. My current work places me in close contact with numerous aspects of the State Court system which highlight the need for improved quality and access to various forms of continuing and high education such as those provided by DTCC. My undergraduate degree from BYU in political science provides a broad range of knowledge and background information regarding systems and organizational structures that are employed for the efficient operation of an institution such as DTCC and provides a different perspective through which to evaluate potential board decisions and action. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: 32 Page 2 of 2 Noah Oswald As noted above, my work in the Court system continues to highlight a broad need for stronger secondary education to which the community has more access. DTCC is an essential resource to our local community for provided an educational foundation upon which individuals and families can build a foundation for the type of economic success needed to support our local communities. I believe that my legal and personal perspectives would be valuable to the Board of Trustees in promoting the goals and programs of the institution. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? An important connection between local agencies and courts with DTCC should be made to create new avenues for youth and other offenders to break a cycle of incarceration and release. Local resources should be cultivated to expand awareness of existing educational programs that families who have been impacted by incarceration, domestic violence and divorce can use to establish economic self-sufficiency. The quality of information given to high school students in Orange County regarding the programs and resources available through DTCC should be improved to help students evaluate the options and career paths available to them during and after high school.

I rarely miss a town festival. I am in Chapel Hill at least once a week. While I am quite familiar with Alamance Community College, the Durham campus of Durham Technical Community College and the local universities, I have minimum knowledge of the Orange County campus of DTCC. I realize the campus was only opened in 2008, but I have not come across information about the Orange County campus of DTCC, other than what I've actively sought out through the website and social media. From what I've found through my research, the college provides many excellent opportunities for both formal and informal education. So, one way that DTCC could better serve the residents of Orange County is to help the residents of Orange County become more aware of the diverse ways in which the campus serves Orange County.
