For the past three years I have directed the North Carolina Folklife <br />Institute, a statewide nonprofit based in Durham dedicated to preserving and promoting <br />traditional arts and cultures throughout the state. I have many connections in arts communities <br />from policy makers and consultants to working artists, community arts activists, and teachers. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I want to serve my local community and collaborate with others in the arts community. I would <br />also like to learn more about how decisions about arts and culture are made at the county level <br />and to contribute to increasing access to and diversity within the arts. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />The only potential conflict of interest would be if my organization was working on a project in <br />Orange County or with a community partner who was applying for a grant from the Arts <br />Commission. Because we are a statewide organization, this is a possibility (in which case i <br />would abstain from that vote etc.) but there are no plans to work in Orange County at this time. <br />
