Our recommendations to <br /> the Board of County Commissioners are as follows: <br /> 1) "Veterinarian from the Health Board" (Position #1): The ASAB recommends that Dr. <br /> Susan Elmore be reappointed as she is continuing her service to the Health Board and <br /> continues to be highly engaged in the affairs of our board. (We would note that <br /> forthcoming proposed revisions of the policies and procedures for the ASAB indicate <br /> that the Health Board Veterinarian will continue to serve in this position for as long as <br /> they are appointed to the Health Board.) <br /> 2) "Town of Chapel Hill" representative (Position #3): The ASAB is not making a <br /> recommendation for this position given our understanding that it is the prerogative of <br /> the Chapel Hill Town Council to do so. <br /> 3) "At Large (Non-Municipal)" (Position #8): The ASAB is recommending the appointment <br /> of Diane Obeid to this position based upon her broad interest and experience with <br /> animals and concern with animal issues. Ms. Obeid's interview with the ASAB indicated <br /> a high level of motivation and a good fit as well. <br /> 4) "Animal Welfare/Animal Advocacy" (Position #10): The ASAB is recommending the <br /> reappointment of Maureane Hoffman, MD, PhD. She is currently serving as the ASAB <br /> Chair (and previously served as Vice-Chair). She is also helping to facilitate collaboration <br /> between IAR and Animal Services staff in regard to community cats. <br /> 5) "Animal Welfare/Animal Advocacy" (Position #11): The ASAB is recommending the <br /> reappointment of Molly Mullin, PhD. She is currently serving as the ASAB Chair. She is <br /> also part of the coordinated effort to add animal art to the county's Animal Services <br /> Center. <br />
