Director and Design and Production Manager <br />1984 <br />Chapel Hill <br />Carrboro City Limits <br />Female <br />Caucasian <br />Community Activities /Organizational Memberships: <br />In 2011 1 helped to found the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition (CBC), and much of my volunteer <br />effort goes to things in the community that promote healthier transportation options, <br />including safer biking and walking conditions, and more use of non -car forms of <br />transportation when possible. In addition to the CBC, I have served on Carrboro s <br />Transportation Advisory Board for several terms and a total of over 20 years. My most <br />recent term just ended in February of 2014. 1 am the recipient of the NCPA 2011 Marvin <br />Collins Planning Award, an award given for volunteer efforts in transportation. I hosted <br />the state -wide NC Bike Summit last year in Carrboro, and as a member of the CBC <br />brought the first Open Streets event to Carrboro in 2013, which was such a success that <br />the Town made it part of their parks and recreation program in 2014. The CBC won a <br />Diversity award from UNC in April of 2014 for its work with lower income community <br />teaching them bike maintenance skills and giving them bike lights. <br />Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br />Boards /Commissions applied for: <br />Orange Unified Transportation Board <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />In addition to the work I do in the community, I work with other transportation advocates, and <br />have a good rapport with all of them. When I served on Carrboro s Transportation Advisory <br />Board, I attended most of the Transit Partners Meetings, so I am very familiar with the Transit <br />system. I am a nationally certified LCI instructor with the League of American Bicyclists, and can <br />help with classes for both children and adults to train them not only with feeling more <br />comfortable on bikes, but to show them how to be better drivers around bikes as well. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />
