_ 2 oRANGF Memorandum pp `°""" ° Z To: Carrboro Board of Aldermen p - Chapel Hill Town Council O"M MUL of Orange County Commissioners `" From: SOCF Steering Committee FvruRS Date: June 17, 1996 Subject: Additional Appointments Thank you for your prompt confirmation of the Shaping Orange County's Future (SOCF) Task Force nominees sent to you in May. Your consideration and positive action in creating the task force illustrates the vision and commitment to this important project from all of the elected boards in our County. On June 13, the SOCF Steering Committee met and considered a number of matters. Foremost among those was a concern that the Task Force as presently constituted was unequal in terms of gender. Although great care was taken in balancing the many interests and backgrounds, only nine of the 26 persons appointed to the Task Force are women. After discussing the situation, the Steering Committee decided to ask each governing board to appoint four additional women members. In keeping with the previous procedure, the Steering Committee recommends four persons for confirmation to address this imbalance. These four are: Rhonda Pope, Cedar Grove Township Carole Crumley, Chapel Hill Township Susan Prothro Worley, Chapel Hill Township, and Linda Foxworth, Chapel Hill Township Additional information on each person is provided on the attached sheet. The addition of these four women will take the Task Force from 26 members to a total of 30, with 17 men and 13 women. A memo will be sent to each of the three managers asking that these four appointments be considered before the summer break- so that the Task Force may be finalized in time for a September start-up. Thank you once again for your consideration. copies: Cal Horton, Chapel Hill Town Manager John Link, Orange County manager Robert Morgan, Carrboro Town Manager
