City Limits Sex: Male Ethnic Background: 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: Orange County Visitors Bureau 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 19 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. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: 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 20 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.

I was the college s representative to High Country Host and Advantage West NC. Through those roles I took the National Park Service s intensive Gateway Community training in 2006.

Ultimately, I would like to see Orange County to develop a new body, separate from currently existing ones, that approaches arts, culture,festivals, and the creative industries (web design, architecture, metal work, app development, and etc)totally from the business and economic development perspective. Conflict of Interest: Possible perception. CH/OCCVB does not fund ArtsCenter activities. Occasionally, however, the CVB includes our events among several in its ad buys.
