I hope you are both well. I am the chairman of the Orange County Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee. We have one vacancy currently, and another likely to occur in the very near future. Conveniently, we have two applicants with whom I've spoken and am very confident they would fit excellently on the committee. Yesterday at our regular business meeting we discussed whether we could request that the Commissioners appoint at least one of the candidates to our committee as soon as possible. To that end, I would request that Ms. Christine (Cresha)Cianciolo be appointed at the Commissioners' earliest convenience. I have spoken with Ms. Cianciolo today and confirmed that she is still very interested in serving. The other applicant, Ms. Katy Stewart, I am not as certain about, but since we do not have an official vacancy yet, I think that appointment is less urgent. Thank you for letting me know what options we have in this regard. Take care, Max 7 From:Carmelita Karhoff To:Thom Freeman Cc: Max Mason Subject:Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee(ACHCAC)Recommendations for Reappointment Date:Thursday,June 09,2016 5:07:16 PM Attachments:Copy of Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee Attendance Rider and Foster.xlsx Importance: High Good afternoon, Thom — It is with pleasure that we are recommending the re-appointments of both Deborah Rider and Beverly Foster to the Orange County Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee. A review of the ACH CAC meeting minutes showed both members to have met their requirements of adult care homes visitations and committee meeting attendance and participation in their advocacy roles.. Their meeting attendance record is attached. Thank you, please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

The first decade of my career was in Critical Care, working in the Emergency Room, Surgical Intensive Care and Coronary Care units. I later became a Study Coordinator recruiting patients for research studies at large University Medical Centers. The remaining two decades were spent as a Clinical Trials Coordinator, training and monitoring physicians and nurses conducting clinical trials to ensure they were complying with the CFR(Code of Federal Regulations, specifically 21 CRF50). These provisions provide for the protection of human rights in subjects participating in research studies. It is clear to me that these guidelines can apply to any human in a vulnerable position. Although this work was demanding and challenging, it has enhanced my ethical standards, of which I am proud. It has also required me to be organized and detailed. After retiring three years ago, I have volunteered with Duke HomeCare and Hospice to provide support and comfort to those at the end of life and their families. This effort has provided me access to several extended care facilities in the area, observing firsthand the treatment and management of the residents (good and bad). I am also involved with the Music and Memory program at Carol Woods. There I partner with 9 Page 2 of 2 Cresha (Christine) elders suffering with either physical or cognitive challenges to develop a music playlist to meet their individual tastes. This effort has provided me the satisfaction of witnessing the healing powers of music. The adventure of providing a personalized music playlist for patients with limitations is both challenging and humbling. I have been on the Board of the Community Home Trust since 2010. This has allowed me to further my desire to ensure that affordable housing is available for those who serve our community(teachers, UNC housekeepers, policemen, firemen)as well as single parents or the elderly. I am also on the Board of the Friends of the Chapel Hill Public Library(and co-manage the Friends Book Store),where I help to raise funds that support the library in providing programs for both adults and children. I am dedicated to both these Boards and enjoy being part of teams, working together to further our missions. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I would be interested in serving on this board as I am passionate about the welfare and needs of the elderly. As a nurse, I have seen the need for patient advocates to guide and educate the patient in their course of treatment and care. I have seen weekly changes in clients in extended care facilities that often go a€°'unseena€TM by staff who see and attend to them daily. Often, there is no interested family member available to assist in making life changing decisions or in determining if a resident s needs are being met. I feel that with my background, I am able to assess and plan for a population that is often a€°'under-serveda€TM. I would be honored to be considered for this role. Conflict of Interest: I am married to a Chapel Hill government official.
