As an attorney, I have written on TNR policy, and continue to monitor legal developments on animal issues. I have 10+years of experience in management, both corporate experience from before law school and in my current position. I am passionate about animals, their welfare, and the policies and statutes that concern them. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I feel passionately about the needless killing going on in our shelter and those nationwide. While Orange County continues to make progress, we have not committed to becoming a no-kill locale -something which I think is within our grasp with the right focus and fundraising. While the five-year plan on community cats is a good start, the lack of specificity and commitment to implementing programs which have been successful elsewhere is a shame. A commitment to go no-kill could be used to galvanize the community to action and to raise the funds necessary. If Los Angeles, CA, can do it by 2017 (through NKLA), we should be able to achieve the same goal by 2020. NKOC (No Kill Orange County)can be a reality.

While I may not be majoring in Library Science, I am familiar with the general civic purpose of a library and would greatly enjoy serving the town of Chapel Hill and Orange County in a positive manner. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Conflict of Interest: Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have served on several committees that function to plan events and policies that best serve the UNC-CH student body. My experiences in strategizing and planning within UNC s student government as well as my previous involvement with the State s Board of Governors and General Administration have prepared me to work in a professional political atmosphere. As a student pursuing a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications with a specialization in Graphic Design, I would be able to contribute both a fresh students perspective in regards to tourism and marketing campaigns and could contribute my talents in anyway possible. I am passionate about the town of Chapel Hill - not just the University- and my involvement and connections with the community would contribute positively to the makeup of the visitor s bureau. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Conflict of Interest: Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Commission Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As a lover of the outdoors and fun weekend activities, I understand the true value of parks to a community. Not only does my passion for parks extend to the physical locations, but I value the worth that they bring by offering a space to bring neighbors from the same community together in communal recreation and activities. My experiences serving on UNC-CH s student government and sitting on advisory boards for the UNC System s policy-making functions, I am prepared to serve in a professional political atmosphere for deciding on policy issues and funding allocations. By applying for this position, I hope to provide a connection between the University and town s park and recreation services as well as provide a fresh student perspective on any advisory committees.
