I have served as the Chair of that Board, as a member of that Board, and <br />as an Alternate on that Board. <br />Boards /Commissions applied for: <br />Board of Equalization and Review (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />I have experience serving on the Board of Equalization and Review, including service as its <br />chair. I was a federal criminal prosecutor for 28+ years and then was an Expert Consultant to <br />the United States Department of Justice. Although I am still currently licensed to practice law <br />(District of Columbia), I am retired from that practice and teach law at the college <br />(undergraduate and graduate)Ievel. That background, experience, and education enables me to <br />conduct hearings and act as a hearing officer in a manner which ensures that Orange County <br />taxpayers receive due process, a fair and complete airing of all relevant issues, and a decision <br />which rests on a review of all relevant information, as well as on the applicable North Carolina <br />law. <br />In addition, the focus of much of my legal practice was white collar crime; I have extensive <br />experience in business, corporate, real estate, and other financial matters. I bring that <br />experience to the Board, as it considers transactions which are sometimes paper and finance <br />intensive and documents its decisions in minutes which are clear, complete, and concise. <br />My responsibilities as a college level faculty member are part time in nature; I have the ability <br />and willingness to commit to the needs of the Board of Equalization and Review. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />
