While I do not have any specific background in Planning, everyone has to get their <br /> first experience somewhere. I am very interested in how our County develops and am adept at <br /> getting up to speed in new areas quickly. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> Being a resident of an area that recently had a siginficant amount of activity at the BOCC (the <br /> Eno Economic Development area), I attended several BOCC hearings and have grown very <br /> interested in how our County is governed and the different advisory boards that delve into <br /> various issues. My wife and I love this county and plan to continue rearing our children here and <br /> thus have a vested interest in how the County moves forward. Given how important this advisory <br /> board is, I was disappointed to see that my township is not represented at this time. I will be <br /> pleased for any qualified applicant to receive this position, and would be honored to do so myself <br /> to represent the interests of the folks in my area. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
