Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have worked in restaurants a good deal of my life, so I understand what issues they face from a beverage standpoint. I am also a graduate student at UNCs School of Government and therefore have knowledge both of the problem surrounding under-aged drinking and the challenges of local government. My mom is currently serving on the Shelby ABC Board, and I have been fortunate to accompany her to a few conferences and learn more about the unique challenges a state mandated, but community staffed and run ABC faces. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I find all the challenges surrounding the ABC Board and serving the community is this way fascinating. The state level commission is going through changes and I would value being a part of that on a local level in my chosen community.

Conflict of Interest: Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Please list/explain your experience, either professionally and/or from other boards/commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management.

I am also currently studying municipal budgeting at the UNC School of Government. 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. I managed an all volunteer board and staff for two years prior to relocating to Chapel Hill.

What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? To keep the community safe in terms of responsible alcohol consumption and providing assistance to the staff and enforcement officers. To prepare an annual budget.

Most recently I served as the Moderator of the Governance Council for my church. My work included rewriting and revamping the governance structure to permit the church to grow in a positive and forward manner. Professionally I am a Biologist by trade and have spent most of my career helping teachers to integrate science into all areas of the classroom. I have also worked as a homeschooling teacher and have been able to meet families from all walks of life. This experience has given me a first person view of how the rapid change in housing options have impacted the diversity of the areas that we serve. I am incredibly passionate about keeping Orange County accessible to all walks of life. We need doctors, teachers and food service workers in all areas of this county to keep it vibrant. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I love Hillsborough and Orange County s economic and age diversity. It was what brought me and my family to this area 23 years ago. I feel it is important to have this kind of diversity to prevent a community from becoming too homogeneous and stagnant. I feel having this kind of diversity is what defines Hillsborough. I fear that without affordable housing Hillsborough may become similar to cities like Cary and Morrisville. 12 Page 2 of 2 Tim Woody Other Comments: This application was current on:7/31/2017 7:51:56 PM Date Printed:8/3/2017 Supplemental Questions: Boards/Commissions appointments: Conflict of Interest: no Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My experience in leading groups through change is what I feel I most bring to the table.
