My love for music never faltered and I was selected to attend the Alabama School of Fine Arts to study piano further. At this institution, I grew very familiar with all the arts that were celebrated at the school: creative writing, dance, theater, visual arts, music and even math and science. My experience and interactions at this school gave me a deeper look and better appreciation of the arts and showed me the positive ripple effects the arts could have on a community. I continued my music education at UNC-Chapel Hill as a Kenan Music scholar, where I experienced and participated in local and world-class arts and cultural opportunities on campus and in Chapel Hill and the surrounding areas. After receiving my Bachelor of Music in piano performance, I continued my studies at the University of Georgia, where I went on to earn a Masters and doctorate in piano performance and piano pedagogy. My journey eventually led me back to Chapel Hill to serve as the Marketing and Development Communications Manager for Arts Everywhere, a comprehensive initiative to make the arts a fundamental part of University culture and daily campus life. Through my position at Arts Everywhere, I am heavily involved in the arts events and activities on campus and in the community. Given my deep familiarity with the arts sector, my connections to the University, and my passion for the work that I do with Arts Everywhere, I am certain that my ideals and goals would align 22 Page 2 of 2 Crystal Wu well with those of the OCAC board. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: The arts, and specifically for me, music, has given me opportunities to see the world, share my passion with others, and most importantly create arts opportunities for those around me. Not only do I feel qualified to be on the board based on my experiences in the arts, but I am also deeply passionate and eager to be part of a strong group that works to promote and strengthen the artistic and cultural development of Orange County. I am eager to listen, learn, and share insights with my colleagues as we determine the best ways we can reach and serve the community through the arts. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: My background, knowledge, and experience will position me as a strong contributor and member of the Orange County Arts Commission board. I have dedicated my life and career to the arts, both as an artist and an arts communicator and that will give me a unique perspective. Perhaps even more importantly, because of my position at UNC, my strong connections to the arts organizations, departments, student groups, and individual artists on campus will help me bring a different lens to any conversation or discussion. Being in regular communication with these groups, I am well poised to share information to the board in regard to the latest news, events and programs on campus as well as pass information back to the arts entities in the UNC community.

I pursued a career path in evolutionary genetics and have a solid education and rigorous training in a particularly math and data-heavy field of biology, along with deep thinking, research and written communication. Throughout, I maintained a strong interest in environmental and especially climate change issues. I gravitated towards educating myself about what I could do in my personal life. I figured I d leave the structural change to those who were in government and my influence would be through my own actions, personal interactions and my vote. Being a bit geeky, I kept reading and educating myself about the structural change. I became increasingly concerned that change wasn t happening fast enough or to a sufficient degree, but felt I couldn t actually do anything at a higher level, because I wasn t trained in politics or environmental science. Since moving to Chapel Hill about five years ago, I started paying attention to local politics and have revised my opinion. I think that even without formal training in environmental science, there s a role I can play in change that is bigger than personal choices. Additionally, I ve done a little writing on toxins for the Duke Superfund Center and been active in actions at my UU congregation to make environmental concerns, especially climate change, a bigger focus. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: 48 Page 2 of 2 Kristie Mather I want to do more to slow climate change and start adaptation plans than is possible at a personal level. We haven t done enough, and I think we ve got to have more folks working on climate change. The Climate Council seems a place where action can happen at a local level and I think I can be a valuable contributor. Local development and growth is a major piece - positive or negative -of how we can lessen climate change while understanding that some change is now inevitable and adaptation has to be part of the game. I can bring a combination of passion and analytical thinking to the council. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I bring the perspective of a parent. I am Caucasian, but have been increasingly concerned with environmental justice and the fact that people who have traditionally been disadvantaged also tend to be impacted first and more severely by the climate crisis. Conflict of Interest: Commission for the Environment Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As long as I can remember I ve been developing a consciousness that the current American culture with an inclination towards disposability and convenience above all else is inconsistent with a planet that is a comfortable place for humans and many other living creatures. I pursued a career path in evolutionary genetics and have a solid education and rigorous training in a particularly math and data-heavy field of biology, along with deep thinking, research and written communication. Throughout, I maintained a strong interest in environmental issues. I gravitated towards educating myself about what I could do in my personal life. I figured I d leave the structural change to those who were in government and my influence would be through my own actions, personal interactions and my vote. Being a bit geeky, I kept reading and educating myself about the structural change. I became increasingly concerned about the many areas in which humans are still acting more destructively than constructively, but felt I couldn t actually do anything at a higher level, because I wasn t trained in politics or environmental science. Since moving to Chapel Hill about 5 years ago, I started paying attention to local politics and have revised my opinion. I think that even without formal training in environmental science, there s a role I can play in change that is bigger than personal actions. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I m concerned about the choices that our communities are making that are at odds with sustainability and environmental health. My personal choices aren t going to be enough and I want to ensure that our community makes structural choices that are sustainable and protect the sort of environment that is healthy for humans and other living creatures. I think I can be a valuable contributor. I can bring a combination of passion and analytical thinking to the committee.

My current company provides capital and development services for solar, biogas, battery storage, and other renewable and sustainable infrastructure projects. I am an active member of the NC Sustainable Energy Assoc and the Renewable Natural Gas Coalition. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have dedicated the last 13 years of my life to helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions by accelerating the adoption of solar energy through multiple renewable energy businesses. My family and I live in a solar-powered, energy efficient home in rural Orange County and I want to give back to my local community. I want to use my business and personal experience, and my passion for a cleaner environment, to help improve the lives of those living in and around the county that I love and call home. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I have been actively developing, building, and financing solar and biogas projects since 2007. 1 founded Leyline in 2017 to focus on providing capital for renewable energy projects at the most critical time—during a project's development. Because we come in and provide much needed funding in the early stages of a project I am in a unique position to see a lot of different types of commercially viable technologies and solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (solar, biogas, CO2 capture/sequestration, battery storage, small hydroelectric, fuels cells, and waste to value projects, to name a few). I would contribute to the diversity of viewpoints by bringing a perspective that is focused on understanding the types of projects and solutions that work today, are financeable, and are 61 Page 2 of 2 Erik Lensch being deployed at a rapid pace to reduce our carbon footprint. I see project opportunities in CA, the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, the northeast and south, as well as Canada and western Europe. So I would bring a national and international perspective, what is being done in other communities around the US. I bring a project financing point of view—what cannot get financed won't get built, and what won't get built won't help us slow down global warming. I am passionate about reducing our carbon footprint and my company only finances projects that seek to achieve this goal. My dad had a solar energy business back in the late seventies and early 80's. I like to say that he was 30 years ahead of his time, and we don't have the luxury of waiting another 30 years to create lasting, positive change.

Violent weather, droughts, flooding are key impacts that Orange County will have to deal with. -It should be remembered that current U.S. emissions are only about 16% of the global total and Orange county's under 0.2 % of the global total. 67 Page 2 of 2 Frank Princiotta -Note that not just CO2 but methane and nitrous oxide emissions need to be reduced dramatically as well; this is not possible without fundamental changes in our meat-based diets. So if appointed to the board I will argue that preparing for what are likely to be serious climate impacts should be a top priority, also known as adaptation. Of course we need make decisions at the county and household levels to reduce our GHG footprint.

Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 71 Page 2 of 2 David Singer Commission for the Environment Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I studied environmental law and served as an environmental attorney from 2005-2007. Toward that end, issues impacting the environment and social responsibility have been an interest of mine during my professional career. I am also an avid outdoorsman and spend as much time as I can enjoying our environment. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I d like to use my experience and education to serve our community and work to strengthen the environmental stewardship of the County. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I am fortunate in to have lived and worked as a practicing attorney throughout the eastern United States in both urban and rural communities; having lived in Vermont, Western New York, throughout the Washington D.C. and Baltimore, MD metro areas, and currently reside in Chapel Hill. These experiences, I feel, give me a unique ability to appreciate the diversity of viewpoints arising from the Chapel Hill community, particularly as they relate to differing viewpoints from individuals and businesses with diverse racial, gender and socio-economic backgrounds. Just as important as it is to bring a diversity of viewpoints, it is important to be able to understand how differing viewpoints are formulated from community members and how these different viewpoints can be analyzed before decisions are made or actions taken. Toward that end, my experience as a litigation and regulatory attorney have provided me with the tools to engage in civil discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision making by reviewing and evaluating diverse viewpoints and, when necessary, amicably resolve disputes. I was trained and practiced for many years as an Environmental Attorney and believe I can bring a diversity of viewpoints on environmental conservation and stewardship that I have acquired representing national and multi-national companies in a variety of environmental issues and counseling those companies in environmental rules, laws and statutes. Topics such as water conservation, urban development and land use management are areas of particular interest and with which I have had exposure during my career. Currently, I work as a corporate attorney for a 174 year old international agriculture company with deep roots in North Carolina and as such, I have a profound appreciation for the agriculture industry that serves as the backbone of North Carolina's diverse heritage. This will enable me to truly appreciate a diversity of viewpoints on many issues facing the North Carolina community.
