Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have a masters degree in instructional design and am ABD in Educational Research with an
emphasis in adult education and educational economics. 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.

What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the
residents of Orange County?
I don't know enough as an outsider to recommend improvements. However, I can say that
through my work with the vocational training program at Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, I do
think there could be a closer working relationship between Orange County's public schools and
Durham Tech. I'd also like to see a close working relationship with the Economic Development
Office if it doesn't already exist. Finally, I would like to see greater emphasis placed on adult
basic literacy. As a county, I would like to adopt the goal of ensuring 100%of our adults can
read and compute basic math at the 8th grade level.

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.
Respectfully Submitted,

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:

society even now and will become moreso in the future. I hope my technical background will be

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.

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.

Supplemental Questions:
Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the

careers in industry.
Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Please list/explain your experience, either professionally and/or from other
boards/commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management.
Professionally, my positions involved budgetary responsibility(up to$2 M annually) and
management of direct reporting personnel (up to 14). I am aware of the needs for planning,
implementation, and oversight of these resources while maintaining focus on the tasks assigned.
In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work/volunteer
experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board.

University and industry work in soils, crops, regulatory affairs (company representative with
EPA,OPP). Over the years, I have worked with irrigation so am conversant with water use in
agriculture.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
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. STAFF

Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
In prior roles I've held, I have had to balance important constituency groups and make timely
decisions based on facts and cause and effect analysis. The OWASA Board of Directors
requires that members balance the interests of local governments, the environment, and local
ratepayers. It is vital that we have Directors who are able to give the facts the due diligence in
determining how to balance these three priorities and ensure that ratepayers enjoy great
services, that we are good stewards of our precious water resources, and that the community
has confidence in OWASA's ability to serve.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
The OWASA Board of Directors is an important Board in our community given that they oversee
a utility agency. Water use and sustainability is becoming an ever important issue with a
changing global climate. When coupled with increased development in southern Orange County,
the OWASA Board of Directors will have to ensure that growth is sustainably managed as it
relates to our water resources.

Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As someone who worked in higher education and with the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, I know firsthand how critical it is that we have a higher education system that works
for everyone.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.

Bond Education Committee
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
For nearly a decade, I have be involved in political and public information campaigns with
candidates, partisan organizations, and non-profits. I believe that the individuals serving on this
Bond Education Committee will need to be well versed in messaging, campaigns, and strategy. I
believe that I would bring those skills to the Bond Education Committee and contribute to
developing effective materials, building coalitions, and deploying a multi-media campaign to
secure passage of the bond orders. I have served as a fellow with Equality NC and as an
outreach coordinator for Action for Children NC. In both capacities, I was tasked with heading
outreach on our public information campaigns around non-discrimination and juvenile jurisdiction
respectively and understand the complexities of what make a public information campaign
successful. I have also served in partisan capacities centered on elections, including referenda,
with a high degree of growth and success.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I am interested in serving on this board as an extension of my public service in Orange County,
particularly relating to the schools, but also with respect to affordable housing. My belief is that in
order for us to keep our comparative advantages we need well maintained schools and that
students perform better when the buildings they learn in are safe, secure, and modern. This
bond will help us secure nearly a third of what all it will take to update the infrastructure of school
systems, but without it we will have to make even tougher choices regarding how we give our
students world class school buildings. The second reason is as it relates to affordable housing. I
believe this bond is the first step in truly delivering on the promise of affordable housing. Though
it is only$1 million more than the bond passed nearly 15 years ago, I believe it is a serious down
payment on practical affordable housing solutions. As a native Orange County resident who
grew up living in section 8 housing, I know the importance of affordable housing. Now as a
millennial, I understand that affordable housing is part of our economic development puzzle and
a critical piece to ensuring that we are an affordable community to live, work, and play if we are
to be a diverse community.

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My background and experience a business owner and advocate, and as a former higher
education marketer, are relevant to the DTCC board. 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. These family members made sure my brother and I understood the value of life-long
learning.

I have worked in intern/staff positions in the United States Senate and Utah State House
addressing issues of public education and the benefits of access to institutions of higher
learning. 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.

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

What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the

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 believe that DTCC can expand its offerings to better meet the needs of the community by
working with local industry and doing a needs assessment to make changes and additions to
available courses of study. Working with local businesses to determine their needs will also
create paths to employment, which would enable students to get an associates degree and get
out on the job market right away if possible. Many companies are looking for expertise rather
than specific degrees, and I feel that DTCC is in a unique position to help accommodate that
need.

I have lived in Orange County for 22 years and have worked in the field of education the entire

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.

Community Activities/Organizational Memberships:
I served on the Chapel Hill Town Council from 2011 - 2015. As a member of the council, I
served on various boards, including the Historic Rogers Road Task Force, Orange
County Visitor s Bureau, and Chapel Hill Public Art Commission. la€TMm proud to have
advanced inter-governmental relations during my time on the council, and worked closely
with other elected officials across the county to support visitor promotion, access to
voting, and public transportation and infrastructure. Since I ve left the council, I ve
continued to serve on the Visitor s Bureau Board as a non-voting representative of the
Town of Chapel Hill. Currently, I m a member of the Chapel Hill Chamber of Commerce s
Chapel Hill Young Professionals (CHYP) and board of directors of the Strowd Roses
Foundation. Professionally, I work as the executive director of the North Carolina AIDS
Action Network, a statewide nonprofit that advocates on behalf of those living with and at-
risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS. la€TMm also a member of the United Church of Chapel Hill.
Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:

Boards/Commissions applied for:
Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have a diverse history of serving on many non-profit, advisory, and government boards. I
currently serve on two national boards of the American Heart Association, and served on the
board of directors of Truth Initiative(formerly the American Legacy Foundation), the nations€TMs
largest national public health organization focused on tobacco prevention and cessation. The
Truth Initiative board included diverse political perspectives, and was mandated by the Master
Settlement Agreement to included two governors, two attorney generals, and two state
legislators, one from each political party. I built strong relationships with board members from
39
Page 2 of 3 Lee Storrow
both parties to advance our shared mission, and that experience would be beneficial serving on
a board that includes appointees from a Republican governors€TMs administration and local
leaders appointed from more liberal boards. In my work with the NC AIDS Action Network,
la€TMve worked closely with members of both political parties in the General Assembly, and
have been successful in maintaining funding and expanding the mission of the states€TMs AIDS
Drug Assistance Program with strong support from the current political leadership in Raleigh. A
major focus for the Board of Trustees in recent months has been increased fundraising efforts
for Durham Tech. I believe my political and non-profit fundraising background could be an asset
for the college, particularly as state revenue dedicated to higher education has declined in recent
years. la€TMve built my non-profits€TMs corporate giving program, and have a strong background
in individual giving. Serving on the board of Strowd Roses Foundation has provided me an
opportunity to deepen my understanding and knowledge of the philanthropic sector. Although I
know this seat is intended to represent the needs of Orange County, I have strong relationships
with local elected officials in Durham, and have worked with leaders in the public health
community in Durham to advance tobacco and HIV prevention efforts over the years. I think I
can bring a collaborative energy that highlights the mutually beneficial relationship of a strong
Orange County Campus for the Durham Tech system.As we look to leadership of important
institutions in our community, I think its€TMs important that they reflect the diversity of the
communities they serve, and know that is a priority of the Board of County Commissioners as
well. Over 70%of students enrolled in Durham Tech in the fall of 2015 were under the age of 35,
yet there are very few young members currently serving on the board of trustees.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I m interested in serving on the Durham Tech Community College board because I know
education is a vital component for a positive quality of life in our county and region. Durham
Tech (including the Orange County facilities in Hillsborough and Chapel Hill)serves a vital role
by training our workforce, improving educational outcomes for residents, and catalyzing
economic development. As a high school student, I benefited from enrolling in a political science
course at my local community college the spring semester of my senior year. I had the
opportunity to experience a more a€cegrown-upa€.environment on both the campus and in the
classroom that served as a bridge to prepare me for the environment at UNC-Chapel Hill the
next fall. Durham Tech has a diverse constituency and needs to serve the needs of numerous
students. High schoolers enrolled in Middle College, young professionals who arena€TMt yet
ready for a four year college, foreign exchange students at UNC who need to improve their
English, and mid-career professional who need continuing education or to expand their horizons
are all served by Durham Tech.As a young professional, la€TMd like to serve on the board to
help represent the needs and interests of other young people in our community and help
connect students at Durham Tech to jobs in Orange County and our region.

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?
The Orange County Campus of Durham Tech and the Orange County Skills and
Development/JobLink Center play a critical role in educating the citizens of our community.
As a member of the Board of Trustees, I d hope to support collaborative partnerships between
DTCC and employers in Orange County. The partnership between Morinaga &Co. and Durham
Tech is a great example of the kind of efforts we should be pursuing for our community, but
its€TMs just a drop in the bucket compared to our economic development needs. As the county
continues to think strategically about economic development efforts, including use of funds
generated from the sales tax passed several years ago, Durham Tech and the courses they
offer are a critical component to expanding our tax base. My work and leadership on the
Visitors€TMs Bureau Board has given me a strong understanding and foundation of county-wide
40
Page 3 of 3 Lee Storrow
efforts to grow tourism to serve our economic interests. la€TMd plan to bring that same energy
and dedication to serving on the Durham Tech Board of Trustees.
As the college looks to increasing fundraising efforts, I think ita€TMs important that they also
work to increase visibility of their current success. I have a solid understanding of strategies to
communicate messages to the public through both traditional and social media platforms, and
would like to utilize this knowledge to share success stories of Durham Tech with residents and
key stakeholders in Orange and Durham counties. This kind of outreach benefits fundraising
efforts, but also ensures that potential students know that Durham Tech is a resource for their
educational and job-training needs. Young people and millennials almost exclusively depend on
online platforms for information. Since the vast majority of students being served by Durham
Tech are under the age of 35, ita€TMs vital that the college stays on the cutting edge of social
media platforms.
