During my term <br />on the Commission we facilitated the development of the Tryon International Equestrian Center - <br />a $100 million+ development by private investors. In 2018 the World Equestrian Games will be <br />held at this facility attracting an expected 100,000+ visitors in a two week period. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I believe every citizen has an obligation to support his community. Further, Orange County, like <br />my former NC County, has a very interesting and unique history. I believe my previous <br />experience, serving on the Polk County ETDC, gives me some familiarity with the issues that <br />might be facing the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />20
