My wife <br /> and I have been longtime supporters of the NC Therapeutic Riding Center; in fact they <br /> operate out of our farm. I have also been involved in the past with the Orange County <br /> Dispute Settlement Center, working with them as a mediator an public meeting facilitator. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> None <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Human Relations Commission <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I have been involved with helping humans accept and get a long with each other ever since <br /> college in a multitude of ways, most notably as a professional counselor, neighborhood <br /> mediator, newspaper reporter and activist on issues including race, voting rights and economic <br /> justice. In the 1990s, after I left my reporting job at the News &Observer, I started a monthly <br /> nonprofit newspaper in Chatham County(where I lived at the time)called Chatham Crossroads; <br /> the motto was where all voices are heard . That motto captures for me a guiding principle in all <br /> that I do. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> First, I have a passion for helping people get along better. Bringing people together, helping <br /> them set down their defenses and truly listen to each other opens doors of possibility for mutual <br /> understanding and discovering common ground. Second, I have a passion for justice, and <br /> making sure the little guy doesn t get stepped on in whatever situation comes before me. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
