Chair of the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Commission <br />Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br />As mentioned, I Chair the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Commission. Carrboro <br />Recreation and Parks <br />Boards /Commissions applied for: <br />Chapel Hill /Orange County Visitors Bureau <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />My entire professional career has been dedicated to journalism and public relations /marketing. <br />As news director of WCHL, I covered news about Orange County extensively. As a strategist <br />and account executive at first Rivers Agency and now at Glyph Interface, I work with clients <br />based in the area and am intimately acquainted with the unique values that come with living and <br />working in our area. I also have a long time hobby of live event production, and have been a part <br />of the New Media team at UNC Chapel Hill, showcasing the best of Tar Heel athletics. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I count myself lucky to call Orange County home. While I don t want millions of others to try and <br />move into the county, I would dearly love for them to come visit, see all of the wonderful things <br />that we have to share, and spend a considerable sum before heading back to their hometowns. <br />don t mean to be glib - I honestly believe that it is in our community s interest to pursue tourism <br />dollars as part of the overall economic development mix. Further, there are times when my <br />leadership of the Carrboro Rec +Parks commission will help inform decisions that the Visitor s <br />Bureau must make. The bottom line is that I have professional skills in marketing and public <br />relations. It will be a privilege to put them to use for the benefit of the Visitor s Bureau. <br />
