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. I <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 Visitors Bureau. <br />
