9 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Cresha (Christine) <br /> elders suffering with either physical or cognitive challenges to develop a music playlist to meet <br /> their individual tastes. This effort has provided me the satisfaction of witnessing the healing <br /> powers of music. The adventure of providing a personalized music playlist for patients with <br /> limitations is both challenging and humbling. <br /> I have been on the Board of the Community Home Trust since 2010. This has allowed me to <br /> further my desire to ensure that affordable housing is available for those who serve our <br /> community(teachers, UNC housekeepers, policemen, firemen)as well as single parents or the <br /> elderly. I am also on the Board of the Friends of the Chapel Hill Public Library(and co-manage <br /> the Friends Book Store),where I help to raise funds that support the library in providing <br /> programs for both adults and children. I am dedicated to both these Boards and enjoy being <br /> part of teams, working together to further our missions. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I would be interested in serving on this board as I am passionate about the welfare and needs of <br /> the elderly. As a nurse, I have seen the need for patient advocates to guide and educate the <br /> patient in their course of treatment and care. I have seen weekly changes in clients in extended <br /> care facilities that often go a€°'unseena€TM by staff who see and attend to them daily. Often, <br /> there is no interested family member available to assist in making life changing decisions or in <br /> determining if a resident s needs are being met. I feel that with my background, I am able to <br /> assess and plan for a population that is often a€°'under-serveda€TM. I would be honored to be <br /> considered for this role. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> I am married to a Chapel Hill government official. <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 1/18/2016 4:16:04 PM Date Printed: 1/19/2016 <br />
