17 <br /> Page 3 of 4 Andrea Riley <br /> Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees <br /> What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the <br /> residents of Orange County? <br /> I wonder if there might be a program in Agriculture developed for Orange County students. <br /> Orange High School has agriculture courses and tracks that allow students who live on farms <br /> and in the rural area of the county to learn skills that will help them be successful if they plan to <br /> work in the field of agriculture in the future. A program in agriculture at the Durham Technical <br /> Community College Orange County Campus could build on these courses and skills and better <br /> prepare students who want a life working in agriculture. I also wonder if there might be <br /> scholarships made available to attract students to the study of agriculture to support the farming <br /> community in Orange County. <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 /> Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau, Saturday Receptionist, part-time.Chapel Hill- <br /> Carrboro Schools Pre-K/Head Start Extended Care Program, Interim Floater Teacher <br /> Assistant, part-time, September 2015-June 2016. Eno Gallery, Gallery Assistant, part- <br /> time, May 2015-PresentMarch 2013- Present. As a past art major and certified art <br /> teacher, I am still very interested in the enjoyment and promotion of the arts. I would like <br /> to be actively involved with the promotion of the arts in Orange County and I believe that <br /> my marketing and promotional experience could be of use. I worked for 16 years in the <br /> Durham County Library. As both a patron and employee of public libraries, I think I know a <br /> great deal about what patrons are looking for and appreciate in their libraries. I would <br /> enjoy being involved with the Orange County Library as a volunteer advisor, although I <br /> don't know whether my employment by the Orange County Library would be seen as a <br /> conflict of interest. As a thirty-year resident of Orange County (Chapel Hill for nine years, <br /> and Efland for 21), I have become a life-long fan . I would like to be involved in the <br /> promotion of Chapel Hill and Orange County because I believe I understand what makes <br /> 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.

ADDRESS VERIFICATION: 1204 Brookhollow Road is in Cheeks Township. <br />
