I am a member of a large number of charitable organizations, <br />including the Environmental Defense Fund, NAACP, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, <br />National Audubon Society, Americares, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam America, <br />Amnesty International, Planned Parenthood of America, Habitat for Humanity, American <br />Civil Liberties Union, National Women s Health Network, League of Conservation Voters, <br />Earthjustice, and numerous others. <br />Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br />I have recently been appointed to the Commission for the Environment and will begin <br />service on the Commission in January. <br />Boards /Commissions applied for: <br />Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />I am a lawyer by training and practiced law for several years both in the private sector and with <br />the US Environmental Protection Agency before becoming a member of the senior leadership <br />and policy expert with the EPA. I worked with a large variety of stakeholders, including public <br />health and environmental organizations, industry, federal, state and local governmental <br />agencies, environmental justice groups and academics. I believe my over 32 years of work <br />experience with the EPA, as well as my experience as a private lawyer, will help me to be <br />effective in working on complex planning issues and work effectively with a broad range of <br />citizens and advocates. In addition, when I lived in Washington DC I served as a volunteer on <br />the citizen zoning adjustment committee for Capitol Hill where I lived. My experience in working <br />with members of my neighborhood and resolving differences of opinion related to development <br />and additions to existing homes will, I believe, be extremely useful in working on the OC <br />Planning Board. My education includes a BA from Yale University, and JD from Columbia <br />
