Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:

Boards/Commissions applied for:
Board of Health
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have been a registered pharmacist for over 27 years and have worked in hospital, inpatient and
outpatient clinics, IV admixture, chemotherapy admixture, parenteral nutrition, supervisory and
management roles, and retail settings. I also worked briefly in the pharmaceutical industry
providing health care provider educational opportunities. I have experience working with geriatric
patients, children, and individuals with special needs. I have lived in North Carolina my entire life
and have spent the last 31 years in Orange and Durham County working and raising my family.
This is my home. I do not have the physical ability to hold down a full-time job due to rheumatoid
arthritis, but I am excited to explore this opportunity to lend assistance in shaping the health
outcomes of the residents here. I have been the primary caregiver for my own daughter for the
last 25 years, cared for my mother during her battle with lung cancer, and helped many friends
and neighbors in times of crisis. My own health problems help me recognize how crucial it is for
good health outcomes to not only begin at home but to extend throughout the community and
school environment.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
17
Page 2 of 2 Christina Hilliard
I recognize that it is everyone s responsibility to assist Orange County government in providing
services to citizens throughout Orange County. I am not working outside the home currently and
would like the opportunity to volunteer and assist in services and areas I have been well trained
in providing. I welcome an opportunity to serve Orange County. I have been blessed beyond
measure in life with a loving and supportive family as well as good opportunities to advance my
education. I would like to give back to my community in a way that is important and meaningful.
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
I have worked with many different people throughout my lifetime and cannot say there is any one
person with whom I cannot connect or identify with through some small avenue. I like to chew
on information to process it from a variety of angles recognizing that nothing is black and white.
There are important considerations and consequences in every decision. I am also a creative
individual who enjoys thinking outside the box in creating solutions and solving challenging
problems.
Conflict of Interest:
I have been involved in learning and speaking with OCBOCC and individuals in the Save
Hillsborough campaign in regards to the industrial park proposal. I may be personally opposed to
this project but it does not supersede any opinions I have in working with other government
officials. If anything, I have learned it is vitally important to give back to my community in any way
I can. You just happen to have a vacant pharmacist position that I could slide into nicely. I
welcome any opportunity to give back to my community and always have. I have the time
necessary to commit to the public health board and would enjoy helping fellow Orange County
residents in an area I know well.
Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As a teenager, I worked with the geriatric population at a retirement home for over 4 years, have
been a registered pharmacist for almost 30 years and am a mother to 2 adult children, one with
special needs. I have been the primary caregiver for my own daughter for the last 25 years and
have worked and volunteered as part of the special needs community during much of this time.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I prefer to serve on the Public Health Board in the vacant pharmacist position. However, if I am
not chosen for that esteemed position, I think I have a lot of life experience I can bring to this
committee. As previously stated, I am not working outside the home currently and would enjoy
an opportunity to volunteer and assist in services and areas I know well. I welcome an
opportunity to serve Orange County, specifically my local community, in a way that is important
and meaningful.
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
I have lived in many different towns throughout North Carolina growing up and volunteered and
worked with many different individuals throughout my lifetime. I enjoy working with people from
all walk of life and appreciate the unique situations individuals have. A good friend referred to me
recently as The Peacekeeper . I can relate to young and old, wealthy or poor, and love and
appreciate the diversity that makes up this area.

system and health policy. I have a long-standing commitment to improving the health of
underserved communities, including communities of color, immigrants and the LGBT
community. I have worked with student teams who have completed projects for the OCBoH,
Piedmont Health, and other community organizations, which has given me great insight into the
health needs of the county and the active role of the OCBoH in promoting health in our
community. As someone who has a background in both law and public health, and who has
worked in management, programs and policy, I think that I have a unique skill set that would add
to the already strong board.

I have long wanted to become more involved with community organizations, but have had an
extremely heavy teaching load which, combined with my responsibilities as the mother of a
teenager, have made it difficult for me to commit additional time. In my new role as a faculty
member in the Public Health Leadership Program at UNC, one of my responsibilities is to
maintain a connection to the public health community, so when I learned of an upcoming
vacancy on the BoH, it seemed like a natural fit. When I have attended BoH meetings in the
past, I have been favorably impressed with the board dynamics. As well, with the change in the
national administration and ongoing issues within the NC legislature, I believe that my particular
skills and experience- in law and public health, programs, policy and advocacy-would be useful
as the Board continues to work to secure and improve the health of Orange County residents.

Knowledge of public health practice at the state level in NC and in the US, as a former employee
of the NC Division of Public Health and current contractor to CDC (through work at RTI).
General familiarity with NC public health law and rule making of the Public Health Commission.
Maintained interest in and engagement with public health practitioners and partners through
responsibilities to educate next generation of public health physicians as Preventive Medicine

through attending state conferences (e.g., Public Health Leaders Conference, NCIOM) and

Ever since leaving the practice of public health in NC and entering a position at RTI where I
support public health (but indirectly)at the federal level, I have had the intent to serve on a NC
Board of Health or the Public Health Commission. Overall work and family responsibilities have
prevented me from applying for this role until now.
I am applying for an at-large position. Though I am a physician by training, I no longer do
individual patient care, which may be a necessary prerequisite for the physician position.
Conflict of Interest:
I do not believe this is a COI, however I have a professional connection to Dr. Pettigrew, the
Medical Director, who serves on the Residency Advisory Committee for the residency I direct
and has mentored Preventive Medicine residents in the past. Dr. Pettigrew is aware I intend to
apply for this position, and if this creates any conflict of interest we will determine how it can be
addressed or mitigated.

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.
