30 Page 2 of 3 Jane Cousins The ABC Board has done an outstanding job providing services to Orange County. The stores are well run with pleasant and helpful staff. I would like to be on the board to support that level of service. I also am supportive of the ABCs€TMs role of funding local programs and agencies. I believe I have experience to contribute to the operation of the board. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Please list/explain your experience,either professionally and/or from other boards/commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel,and management. In my position as Administrative Assistant at the Chapel Hill Police Department I managed the Departments€TMs budget,which included preparation and presentation of the annual budget, procurement, purchase approvals,grant management and supervising contracts. I also wrote grant applications for technology equipment,traffic enforcement and education funding,drug and alcohol court programs, and family violence prevention and intervention programs. As the Police Analyst I was responsible for the selection, purchase, installation, and supervision of the computerized records management system. I supervised the employees of the Information Technology Unit. I also provided strategic and long-range planning for the department. I served on the Violence Against Women Act Committee of the Governora€TMs Crime Commission. We reviewed and recommended approval of grant applications from agencies and governmental units across the state. I served on the board of the Exchange Pool for 5 years. I was the staff liaison,which involved hiring the pool managers. I supervised and evaluated the manager. For 6 years I was on the Board of Directors of A Helping Hand, a non-profit agency that provides in-home care for seniors and adults with disabilities. Along with general board responsibilities, I served as Recording Secretary and on the Long-Term Planning Committee. In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. My professional and volunteer experiences have given me knowledge and experience in agency management,fiscal responsibility, personnel management,and government operations. I am also experienced in long range planning, public relations, and problem analysis. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board,and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? The board is responsible for conducting business in accordance with the Orange County Board of Commissioners while being regulated by the North Carolina ABC Commission. It is responsible for the County ABC stores and distribution of alcohol to bars and restaurants. Income generated is used to fund treatment,education and law enforcement programs, as well as provide funds to the county. I would hope to continue the excellent work of the ABC Board. I would like to maintain the sound fiscal operation and services to citizens. I am interested in granting funds to agencies that address underage drinking, provide services to those struggling with alcohol issues, and to support alcohol law enforcement.
