Margie Huggins is serving on the HSOC Board to help facilitate communication with the public and to help animals receive the best care possible. She is an attorney with special training and interest in animal law and animal welfare issues. A native of Chapel Hill and resident of Orange County for the past 16 years, she is married to Terry Roberts and has two children, Margaret (13) and Henry (10). She shares her home with two rescued dogs and a Siamese cat adopted from the Orange County Animal Shelter. tlrmeh(a~mindspring.com Bonnie Norwood is a longtime volunteer at the Orange County Animal Shelter (17 years), and a volunteer at UNC Hospitals, the Art Center, Channel WCPE Television Station, and the Women's Center. She is currently serving her second term on the Orange County Solid Waste Advisory Board. Along-time resident of Orange County, she has been an activist for positive change, since 1971. At the Orange County Animal Shelter, her volunteer efforts included processing the Shelter microchip papers, organizing log sheets and other necessary administrative tasks. She also assisted at rabies clinics, tracked wildlife and produced the monthly wildlife report, and was very active in fundraising and soliciting goods for the shelter. It would be difficult to find an area of the shelter, that she was not a part of the activities. As a member of HSOC, she brings a deep knowledge of shelter operations and a strong work ethic. One of her main concerns is extending outreach into the northern end of the county to insure that all Orange County residents have information on spay/neuter and rabies clinics. Bonnie is the owner of 4 indoor-only cats, a very old dog (17), and two birds. DMHPINO(c~aol.com Beverly Rockhill is currently an assistant professor in the epidemiology department at the School of Public Health at UNC. She began volunteering at the OCAS In 1994, when she was a graduate student at UNC. She also volunteered at the Palo Alto, California animal shelter where she learned about shelter operations and disease management. She has been a foster parent for both kittens and puppies and became an APS adoption counselor and adoption counselor trainer. She also took APS wildlife rehabilitation classes and became a wildlife rehabilitator. She left Orange County in 1997 for postdoctoral work at Harvard Medical School. When she returned to Chapel Hill in fall of 2001, she continued to spend a portion of each weekend at the APS doing adoptions and helping out with the cats. Rockhill fostered 21 kittens over the summer of 2002. She recently ended her volunteering at APS because of the poor state of leadership and management. The skills she uses in her professional life-teaching, writing, speaking, obtaining grant funding, connecting with networks of people who are decision-makers and leaders in their communities, arguing for the importance of shifting social norms-are skills that will serve the HSOC Board and the Orange community. Rockhill's goal as a member of the Board is to work to institutionalize widespread low-cost spaying and neutering of companion animals in this county. She has 3 indoor-only cats. bevrock10(c~yahoo.com 4
