10 Page 3 of 4 David Mansor Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Specifically, I can create tremendous value for Orange Unified Transportation Board in three nuanced ways: First, I understand identifying and approaching professionals for cooperative partnerships is usually much more than just talking numbers and market factors. I am cognizant of the economic, personal, political, and public perception implications a deal can have. Through my own negotiations, I have learned about the importance of timing, and empathy within any deal. While working with the board I plan to use my strong interpersonal skills to work effectively with board members and community partners to accomplish our goals. Second, I have practical experience on how deals are found, developed, and completed. I understand the various types of value advantages a deal can produce. Beyond the scope of the law, I can read and build pro-forma breakeven analysis charts, cash flow projections, and have a working concept of some corporate financing tools. Through the Entrepreneur Lab class (Spring 2017 Section), I will gain more hands-on experience working with start-up founders, growth executives, and venture capitalists. This work will advise me on how we can better foster these relationships and growths going forward in the planning of Orange County. The business skills learned will continue to round my perspective and insight for my responsibilities on the board. I want to bring these business skills and my strong interpersonal abilities to the Orange County Planning Board. Third, I understand how enthusiasm is essential and contagious in the work place; it breathes life into everything.As a successful door-to-door insurance salesman, I learned the value of enthusiasm combined with the habit of happily doing more than you are asked can create previously nonexistent opportunities. I plan to bring these two habits to my membership on the board, and keep momentum up. I desire to be on the Orange County Planning Board, because of the Orange Countya€TMs emphasis on innovation, and growth over the next twenty years. For me, an opportunity to add value to the incredible on-going work at in Orange County will be a long-term investment in the organization, and my commitment to be a Tar-Heel. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am a JD/MBA student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I would like to get involved in helping your team to implement the Durham-Orange Light Rail project. With my background in entrepreneurship and the law, I could be a tremendous free asset for your team to utilize. I have attached a resume, and included my Linkedin HTML link so you can verify my abilities to execute and work on high level projects. Conflict of Interest: I own two properties. 105D Weatherstone Drive Chapel Hill, NC 27514 107C Weatherstone Drive Chapel Hill, NC 27514 Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmansor/ What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?
