I have a Bachelor's degree and a Masters degree in geology. In my career, I was responsible for planning the business. That kind of experience teaches you to look at the big picture, but understand the details, and how they might impact a course of action. My career also was rich with opportunities to work collaboratively with others. Things like, effective meetings, facilitation, and strong interpersonal skills were learned over the course of my career, and would be highly relevant here. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: First of all, I'd like to get back to the community in my retired life. I've been very fortunate to have a career that was fulfilling. My sense of gratitude is strong, and I just feel the need to serve. Plus, I like the way Orange County works. And I would love the opportunity to serve a County. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I am an independent thinker. I respect the opinions of others, and see myself as an active facilitator in meetings. I think that this skill helps to ensure that the full range of opinions is made clear. I also was responsible for leading inclusion and diversity efforts in a major corporation for two years. 5 Page 2 of 2 Tonya Brami Conflict of Interest: I don't see it as a conflict, but I do serve on two local nonprofit boards Boards/Commissions appointments: Other Comments: This application was current on: 2/15/2023 4:17:34 PM Date Printed: 2/20/2023 6 Page 1 of 2 Marilyn Carter Volunteer Application Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions Name: Marilyn Carter Name Called: Home Address: 100 San Sophia Dr. Chapel Hill NC 27514 Phone: 919-448-7406 Email: marilyncarterl11@gmail.com Year of OC Residence: 1998 Township of Residence: Chapel Hill Zone of Residence: C.H.

My training as an electrical engineer and operations manager has taught me that it's important to evaluate available data and mind the details. At the same time, I always seek to put the details in context, carefully weigh how decisions may impact people and find balanced solutions. This focus comes from my nearly 30 years of experience in project management, people development and senior management in large organizations. My community activities and organizational memberships have enabled me to apply my skills, build a broader and deeper understanding of community concerns and collaborate with others for positive outcomes. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: My mother was a nurse and my father was a union member. My mother taught me the value of service in her career and life values. Because my family benefited from good government policy (toward workers) and I benefited from an excellent public school system and public university system, I feel that it is my responsibility to give back by serving my community. As a long-time 7 Page 2 of 2 Marilyn Carter resident in the rural buffer(1998-2007) and in the town of Chapel Hill (2008-present), I believe it is important to find solutions for our growing population that balance the needs for sustainable economic development, affordable housing options for our residents so that they can live and work in Orange County and preservation of the rural nature of parts of our county. Furthermore, solutions will also need to balance protection of our air and water quality, planning for climate change resilience, and building economic resilience by diversifying our tax base. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: My community service, professional experience and personal experience includes representing the interests of people with disabilities. Also, I am the spouse of an immigrant who is a long-time citizen and we raised our children in a bi-cultural, bilingual household. Conflict of Interest: As referenced above, we lived in the rural buffer for many years; my husband and I own our prior home there.

As a member of that quasi-judicial body I've not only gained significant subject matter knowledge on land use management, I've developed quite an interest in the interpretation and development of policy around the town's land development programs and strategies. My primary interest in joining the Orange County Planning Board is to obtain a broader perspective beyond the "stone walls"of Chapel Hill. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: During my five years on the Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment I have been exposed to, and am acutely aware of, many of the topics I believe will come before the Orange County Planning Board (appropriate and acceptable land use strategies, environmental protection, affordable housing, economic development as well as addressing and servicing the "missing middle"). I view my appointment to the Planning Board as a way to continue developing an informed point of view that can impact the broader conversation across the county.
