I would also like to learn more about how decisions about arts and culture are made at the county level and to contribute to increasing access to and diversity within the arts. Conflict of Interest: The only potential conflict of interest would be if my organization was working on a project in Orange County or with a community partner who was applying for a grant from the Arts Commission. Because we are a statewide organization, this is a possibility(in which case i would abstain from that vote etc.) but there are no plans to work in Orange County at this time. 18 Page 2 of 2 Joy Salyers Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I direct the North Carolina Folklife Institute, whose mission is to preserve and promote the traditional arts and cultures of the state and connect them with issues of public concern, including community-based economic development.

Carrboro Recreation and Parks Boards/Commissions applied for: Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My entire professional career has been dedicated to journalism and public relations/marketing. As news director of WCHL, I covered news about Orange County extensively. As a strategist and account executive at first Rivers Agency and now at Glyph Interface, I work with clients based in the area and am intimately acquainted with the unique values that come with living and working in our area.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I count myself lucky to call Orange County home.

I don t mean to be glib- I honestly believe that it is in our community s interest to pursue tourism dollars as part of the overall economic development mix. Further, there are times when my leadership of the Carrboro Rec+Parks commission will help inform decisions that the Visitor s Bureau must make.

It will be a privilege to put them to use for the benefit of the Visitor s Bureau. 20 Page 2 of 2 Daniel Siler Conflict of Interest: Orange County Parks and Recreation Council Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Extensive use of the parks and facilities that are provided and maintained by the County.
