13 <br /> Page 2 of 3 Andrea Riley <br /> Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> attended a community college in Rochester, New York, earned 36 credits, and received an <br /> excellent education there. I believe in the importance of community colleges as both training <br /> institutions forjobs deemed necessary for the communities they serve, and as low-cost <br /> alternatives to the first two years of a four-year college education. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I would like to have the opportunity to contribute to the formulation of policies and future planning <br /> for Durham Technical Community College to influence the primary training and affordable <br /> educational opportunities for inhabitants of Orange County. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Work Experience: I recently worked for 16 years for the Durham County Library in <br /> customer service. I have been a Water Safety (swimming) Instructor, Y.W.C.A. preschool <br /> program teacher/director, American Red Cross blood recruiter, McDonald's Corp. <br /> customer services/marketing specialist, Duke Press Editorial Asst., publications office <br /> administrator for an academic consortium, development/public relations coordinator for a <br /> non-profit, Coordinator for the Duke Pre-Major Advising Center, Staff Liaison for the <br /> Friends of the Durham Library, Inc., and Teacher's Assistant in the public schools. <br /> Volunteer Experience: Swimming instruction for the Red Cross, and Y.M.C.A., <br /> Chairperson and Public Relations Coordinator for a University of Rochester mental health <br /> committee; telephone fund raising for the Y.W.C.A.; field trip chaperoning, E.O.G. <br /> proctoring, Battle of the Books coaching, and assisting in a media center and classroom of <br /> Orange County and Durham public schools. <br /> Education: B.A. from UNC-CH, 1988 (Studio Art major) <br /> Certification in Art Education, K-12 from NCCU, 1996 <br /> Other Comments: <br /> As a past art major and certified art teacher, I am still very interested in the enjoyment and <br /> promotion of the arts. I would like to be actively involved with the promotion of the arts in <br /> Orange County and I believe that my marketing and promotional experience could be of <br /> use. I worked for 16 years in the Durham County Library (and am currently working part- <br /> time in the Hillsborough Library). As both a patron and employee of public libraries, I think <br /> I know a great deal about what patrons are looking for and appreciate in their libraries. I <br /> would enjoy being involved with the Orange County Library as a volunteer advisor, <br /> although I don't know whether my employment by the Orange County Library would be <br /> seen as a conflict of interest. As a thirty-year resident of Orange County (Chapel Hill for <br /> nine years, and Efland for 21), 1 have become a life-long fan . I would like to be involved <br /> in the promotion of Chapel Hill and Orange County because I believe I understand what <br /> makes this area attractive to residents and visitors alike, and with my experience in both <br /> marketing and design, I believe that I can contribute many creative ideas about how to <br /> communicate its advantages. STAFF COMMENTS: Originally (11/18/2011) applied for <br /> Arts Commission, Hyconeechee Regional Library, Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors <br /> Bureau. ADDRESS VERIFICATION: 1204 Brookhollow Road is in Cheeks Township. <br />
