Boards/Commissions applied for: Board of Equalization and Review (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I hold an MBA, and have personally experienced an evaluation appeal. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: There are so many people who own and live in homes for years if not generations. The rapid rise in property values is driving up property taxes. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I handled my mother's property(in another state) until she died. The property tax was a huge burden on her finances. I was constantly looking for programs within the state, county and city that would decrease her tax burden. I also handled the finances for a family trust that held property that was in the family for 4 generations. Again, there was a large increase in property taxes over the years. Conflict of Interest: 6 Page 2 of 3 Saru Salvi Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have lived in OC since 2004. The growth in the county is exploding. I saw this in my hometown. In order to control how the area grows, it requires input on what can happen if zoning is changed. There are things that some people may think could not happen, when in reality it can...like increasing density and not height. Some think the density can t be done but it can and will with special approvals and then change to height. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I want to help growth in Orange County to continue but be smart. I want to help preserve the lifestyle that we sought by moving here. Money is not everything. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: My experience of seeing a small town grow into a place with tall buildings, housing affordably issues, over crowded school and traffic may help with the planed growth of OC. Conflict of Interest: Advisory Board on Aging Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I hold an MBA and an MS, Regulatory Affairs, and have managed project budgeting. When working, I was required to budget large multi-facet clinical trials for our department to assure that all elements were accounted for. For example, a cancer study required extra dollars to cover elements that were more expensive for that type of study vs a common cold study. I also handled all of my mother s finance which included senior funding sources and services. Like the VA Elder Care program, Medicaid for people whose income was over the limit and Medicare Hospice designation, There were many free or cheaper vendors for things like converting tub/showers to walk-in and then wheelchair accessibility or installing grab bars. I also helped to interview caretaker services and then the candidates they presented. Being a young senior could help the Board to hear about issues that were not thought of. I have already helped friends with reaching out to the Department of Aging for their parent. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I enjoy sharing knowledge of resources and helping to make people s live a little easier. I just shared information about the VA Elder Care Program, so now her parents are going to receive an addition $1,800 a month. Very helpful since my friend was paying for everything. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I came from a working class family. After my divorce, my two children were on Aid For Dependent Children, WIC, food stamps, and lived in public housing. The experiences I have had in my life have opened my eyes to issues that some may never have thought of.

W Hillsborough Property Zone Hillsborough Town Limits Community Involvement Which Boards would you like to apply for? Advisory Board on Aging: Submitted Interests & Experiences Relevant Experience Board #1 I previously served on the Adult Care Home Advisory Board for Durham County, and I have worked in aging services for six years. A recent graduate of NC Leading Age's Leadership Academy, I have spent the past year learning about how to advocate for older adults and those who serve them. Reasons Want to Serve Board#1 I care deeply about the health and happiness of the aging. In my professional life, I serve older adults of fairly substantial financial means, and though the community I work for gives back in many ways, I have a personal interest in advocating for seniors from diverse economic circumstances. Additionally, I work in Durham and would like to be of service to older adults in my own county and community. Alia Granger 11 Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 As stated above, I have experience serving older adults of financial means. My own parents, however, do not have such means and I grew up in poverty, so I have a personal understanding of how finances limit options and access for people, especially the aging. I value listening to others before deciding what is best for them, and recognize that different life experiences create different needs and desires. Conflict of Interest Board #1 I see no conflict of interest, especially since my work is in Durham. My industry is made up primarily of nonprofit Lifeplan communities, and we are a supportive and collaborative group, committed to service.

W Hillsborough Property Zone Hillsborough Town Limits Community Involvement Co-owner of a relatively new (2021) business headquartered in Chapel Hill providing non-medical care to seniors in Orange County and surrounding areas. Member of St. Thomas More Catholic Church's Caregiver Support Group. One third owner of The Mill in Fuquay-Varina (previous residence for twenty- two years), named Fuquay-Varina business of the year. Eight years of volunteer work with Grace Community Church on NCSU campus in Raleigh. Two years volunteer as a sponsor/advisor for the founding of a new fraternity on NCSU campus. Which Boards would you like to apply for? Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee: Submitted Advisory Board on Aging: Submitted Interests & Experiences George I Miller 22 Relevant Experience Board #1 My wife and I started One You Love Homecare of Chapel Hill in 2021, serving seniors in the area by providing non-medical personal and companion services that allow seniors to remain home as long as possible. This journey we are on began when my mother passed away in 2012, and my wife and I became the primary caregivers for my father, a retired dentist with advanced Alzheimer's. We learned a great deal about the caregiving industry, using CNAs/Companion caregivers to augment our care for my father during the time he was with us. When it was no longer safe for him to remain at our home, I conducted extensive research on memory care facilities in Wake County before finally selecting a new home for him. During his stay there, we continued to provide volunteer support to his facility and donated a number of items for the care of their patients. For caregiver training, we attended conferences designed specifically for caregivers in the Alzheimer's and dementia area, and we joined caregiver support organizations which provided ongoing support over the lifecycle of the caregiving experience into the post period after the loved one has passed away. Reasons Want to Serve Board#1 As I've worked to build our own business, I've visited a number of adult care facilities in the area. All facilities are not the same, and many are suffering from staffing shortages leading to limited care for patients which sometimes may even lead to injury. I'm passionate about all seniors having dignity and quality care in their last years regardless of their demographic or personal situation. Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 While I can't help but bring my own viewpoint to any situation or discussion, I firmly believe in the dictates of respect and kindness. Additionally, I've been a sales executive in the IT and cybersecurity solutions/services market for well over a decade managing teams ranging from local to regional to national to global responsibility. My last two positions entailed opening and managing the European market for a company, which required the ability to work in and communicate with a number of different cultures. Most recently I ran global sales for an international company where I was daily presented with the challenges for working with completely different cultures. If it matters, I have had two daughters living in Chapel Hill/Carrboro for the last twelve years. They have both been very involved in the food services industry of Orange County during this time. If anyone reading this ever ate at Panciuto in Hillsborough prior to the lockdown, they have more than likely met them both. I have learned much in the way of mutual acceptance and kindness as well as communications with my daughters over the years proving that old dogs can learn new tricks. They are the main reason we relocated to Hillsborough after downsizing. Conflict of Interest Board #1 Our current senior at home care business where I am now working full time, is private-payer/longterm care insurance only, so there is no relationship nor will there be with any government entity at any level except for our own licensing process with the State of North Carolina.
