Member of Hillsborough United Methodist Church. Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: None Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Broadband Task Force Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I work for the NC Museum of History and stay current on technology to make visitor experiences rich and engaging. In addition, I have lived in two different areas of Orange Co where broadband was available and where it is not, so have directly experienced the benefits and detriments of availability. The digital divide impacts my economic, personal, and business activities. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: This is an important opportunity to help Orange Co. find alternative solutions to a problem that should have been solved long ago. While some solutions may no longer be within the ability of OC to solve, that does not mean we should not consider other methods of bring broadband to the rural parts of OC. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: As a resident that has experienced both sides of the broadband issue, I can relate first hand to issues involved. I have sufficient technical background and education to understand the technology. My work provides daily challenges to find innovative and cost effective solutions to problems. Conflict of Interest: 7 Page 2 of 2 Whtiney Watson Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My interest in planning began in college through majors in sociology and anthropology. I read quite a bit about organization of cities and communities including needed infrastructure. Since college I have lived in multiple cities and towns across the US and have experienced how those entities attempted to provide a better place for their citizens to live and work. I now serve as exhibition designer for the NC Museum of History. I am constantly reminded of how our past created our present and influences our future. Exhibitions must make similar choices as planners; allocating space, providing engaging experiences, allowing for exploration and education within the available resources of time and money. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Having grown up in Elon College and in the intervening years seen the development overtake that humble and friendly town, I wanted to bring some of that perspective and my own experience to the discussion of how my community will grow. Recent experiences in Cheeks Township with the new developments along Lebanon Rd in particular make me want to be part of the conversation with citizens, developers, and governmental leaders. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I know that my ethnicity and age put me into the majority of citizens in western Orange County. I believe that my life experiences from small town (Eton)to major city(San Francisco) can help broaden consideration of a wide range of ideas related to the future of Orange Co.

Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Understanding and communicating the viewpoints of others is a skillset of mine.

My father and grandfather were wholesale florists who grew many of their own plants and farmed some of our land. I grew up around farms and woods in the country , at the edge of the city, in Rochester, New York. My Bachelor of Arts degree is from UNC-Chapel Hill, in Studio Art. I also obtained a Teacher Certification in Arts Education, K-12 at North Carolina Central University. My experience in researching and communicating information to the public has been extensive: I have worked with a Community Organizer as a volunteer promoting the use of mental health services for the Consumer Committee of Strong Memorial Hospital, the University of Rochester; I worked as the Center Representative for the American Red Cross Blood Center of Rochester and Monroe County responsible for educating and motivating community volunteer blood recruiters for the Rochester Blood Center; I worked as an editorial assistant for Duke Press, recruiting and communicating with peer readers for manuscripts, and as the Coordinator of the Pre-Major Advising Center for Duke University, recruiting and orienting academic advisors for the Center; I worked for sixteen years as a Reference Library Assistant in the Reference Unit of the Durham County Library, and I worked for the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau for seven years as their Saturday Information Specialist/Receptionist.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I would like to see all of the citizens of Orange County represented in the plans for development of Orange County.

I also have a young daughter(24 years old)who has grown up in this community and has kept in touch with the young people that she went to school with (Hillsborough Elementary, Gravelly Hill Middle School, and Orange High). She still cares about these people and wants to preserve the diverse community that she grew to be comfortable with when she attended school with black, Hispanic, and white students of all gender identifications. My daughter keeps me in touch with these young people, too, so that I know what is going on in their lives and what is important to them as they grow older.A lot of them care about Efland and Orange County and would like to see it remain true to the rural values that they grew up with, even as they attempt to make a living in the cities of North Carolina. They want something preserved of the land and the farms that they were surrounded by as children growing up, and they want the environment protected for their futures and the futures of their children.

I have served on this board for 2-years and have enjoyed being a part of the process. I also have several years of architectural background in civic/justice projects at the state and local level. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Hillsborough and Orange County for over 5-years, it is important to me to understand how I can help the community understand the process. The planning process can be confusing (even to me), so hearing everyone s thoughts and opinions are very helpful. I understand people s trepidation and concern about changes in this community. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 23 Page 2 of 2 Jeff Scott Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an architect, affordable housing is always a critical topic of concern. I practiced in residential architecture at the beginning of my career. I have also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh/Durham. My previous experience working with general contractors and construction managers also allows me to understand the ramifications of costing, constructability, and project management. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Affordable housing is a very important and apt topic locally and nationally. As an active professional in this region, I continue to see how this area is being shaped for both the positive and negative. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I believe that the diversity I could bring to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board could certainly be an asset for Orange County. Having lived in other communities in this state (Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), as well as having spent time studying abroad in Italy and Germany, I have seen a variety of strategies that address housing. In many instances this housing has been shaped by how the urban or rural fabric is shaped. Orange County has the opportunity to really be a leader in driving affordable housing strategies forward as the county grapples with issues of growth and long-term planning strategies. I have seen this while working on single- family and multi-family residential projects and how the divide between building types is critical. Having seen how other communities grapple with affordable housing is also very important to me. Affordable housing is always a very difficult and contentious topic. I have previously been a part of a design/build architectural studio that focused solely on designing and building a home for a low-income family. I have seen how carefully and thoughtfully the process can be executed. Much of the process comes down to creating an architecture of decency for the people that inhabit these homes.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: My architectural/planning background would help me in serving on this board. I also believe I have the fair and impartial temperament to serve.
