Worked in 1980s with Owensboro Daviess County(KY)Tourism Commission to create the IBMA World of Bluegrass events which moved to Raleigh in 2013. Director of Marketing and Sponsorship for MerleFest at Wilkes Community College, building MerleFest into an international brand and an event generating $16M in local economic impact. In that role worked closely with the North Wilkesboro TDA and served on the Tourism Committee of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce. I was on the Wilkes County Cultural Council for the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area during the time of its creation and launch. 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. As Director of Appalshop in Whitesburg, KY, I worked directly with state and regional tourism agencies, the TourSEKY project, and Appalachian Regional Commission. I was a paid consultant for the Letcher County KY Tourism Commission (2010-2011)securing $30,000 in funding for a public engagement process resulting in a Coal Heritage Trail and a Quilt Trail and a new county tourism brochure. Returning to Orange County in April 2012, I obtained a State historical marker, Carrboro s first, for Libba Cotten. Vice-Chair McKee took part in the Sept 2013 dedication. I became active in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber and joined Carrboro s Arts Committee and ESC. 12 Page 2 of 2 Art Menius Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Using arts, culture, and creativity for tourism development is at the core of my life s work. 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.

Chair of the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Commission Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: As mentioned, I Chair the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Commission. 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. I also have a long time hobby of live event production, and have been a part of the New Media team at UNC Chapel Hill, showcasing the best of Tar Heel athletics. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I count myself lucky to call Orange County home. While I don t want millions of others to try and move into the county, I would dearly love for them to come visit, see all of the wonderful things that we have to share, and spend a considerable sum before heading back to their hometowns. 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. The bottom line is that I have professional skills in marketing and public relations. It will be a privilege to put them to use for the benefit of the Visitors Bureau. 14 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.
