Subject: nomination of John Anderson (Wells Fargo banker in Chapel Hill) to fill a vacancy in the
Orange County Economic Development Advisory Board
The Orange County Economic Development advisory board has one new vacancy (in the board's Core Business Sector
specialty membership group) due to the recent resignation of board member Ms. Lori Eichel. She has recently
submitted her written letter of resignation from our advisory board.
The remaining 9 members of the advisory board have now reviewed the list of advisory board applicants on file with the
County, and have voted to nominate applicant John Anderson as their preferred recommendation to file the current
vacancy. As a result, I am requesting that John Anderson 's name be submitted to the BOCC for consideration and
approval to fill the 10th position with Orange County Economic Development's advisory board.
Regards,
Steve Brantley

Subject: nomination of John Anderson (Wells Fargo banker in Chapel Hill) to fill a vacancy in the Orange County
Economic Development Advisory Board
As you recall, Lori Eichel recently decided to terminate her appointment to the Orange County Economic Development
Advisory Board. (However, she still wants to serve on our office's Small Business Loan Program, even though her
position on that loan committee is technically assigned as a representative from the Economic Development Advisory
Board).
We discussed in today's meeting with Deputy County Manager Travis Myren the suggestion to go ahead and seek
candidates to fill our vacancy, and to ask John Anderson is he remains interested in serving. John is a native Chapel Hill
son and his father was a UNC professor. John is a senior executive in Orange County with Wells Fargo Bank. He has had
an active County advisory board application on file for several years, and remains interested in serving. I called him
today to confirm his sincere interest.
Please review John's candidacy, along with any other recommended candidates to fill our advisory board's "Core
Business Sector"vacancy. Let me know your eventual determination if you want John Anderson's name to be presented
to the County Commissioner's office for their review and possible appointment later this year. Best regards.

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?
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 21st century job 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.
