CFE staff would like to recommend four of these members for reappointment to another term. Lynne Gronback, Bradley Saul, Matt Crook and James Eichel have acceptable attendance records and provide valuable insight to the board. The fifth CFE member with a term expiring on December 31, William Kaiser, is also a valued member of the CFE, however, he has decided to not seek reappointment. Once these members are reappointed, two vacancies will remain: one for a person with expertise in land resources, and one for a person with expertise in water resources. At this time, the committee does not recommend appointing any of the current applicants to these positions. CFE members prefer to recruit other qualified applicants to fill remaining vacancies.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Many of our constituents, live and work in Orange County, only because there is a source of housing that makes it affordable for them to do so. Many have been homeless or disabled, some for many years, and the opportunity to have a key and a place to call home provides the self esteem that many take for granted. I believe being an advocate for affordable housing is an honor and a responsibility. Conflict of Interest: If there was any funding provision for which the Board convened to consider an award, and it related to Community Home Trust s mission, I would recuse myself. I would also be open to recusing myself for any other real or perceived concern of the Board. 7 Page 2 of 2 James Eichel Commission for the Environment Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Owned a construction company that received the National EPA WasteWise Small Business Award (associated with recycling and reuse of material in construction). I provide a sustainable recommendation at the Community Home Trust staff meeting every week . Recycling has been a major concern for nearly 40 years, starting with training my daughters on the importance of being good stewards of our planet. That has lead to my oldest daughter, Amanda, becoming the Executive Director of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Sustainability and Climate Change, now based in Brussels, Belgium. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I believe the responsibility for being good stewards of our planet is very much taken for granted, and I wish to be an advocate for doing the right thing for my daughters, my grand-children, and the children of all future generations. I need to do more, not wishing to have to answer to future generations about what I could have done, and provided less than a proactive response.

While getting my MBA I was selected as a Leadership Fellow for the Center for Sustainable Enterprise at Kenan-Flagler, and was also elected as the President of the Entrepreneurship club. I worked closed with the Campus Y, The Cube (social-enterprise incubator on campus), 1789 and Launch Chapel Hill to connect and expose MBAs to sustainable and environmental startups in the area. Since getting my MBA I have worked for a solar developer, and two startups that have center their business around sustainability and the environment. The reason I came back to NC to get my MBA was to grow my business acumen in sustainable enterprise and clean energy, and focus on building smart and socially responsible businesses in North Carolina. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I want to serve on this board because I want to stop sitting on the sidelines and get involved in my local government. I have strong qualities that can benefit the Commission (a business acumen,focus on sustainability and the environment, and a background in consulting and to manage ambiguous projects and provide relevant information to be used in an executive manner), and a perspective that is probably under-represented (as a young adult) in our local 9 Page 2 of 2 Matt Crook government.
