My time as a business owner and my service on the water and server advisory task force <br />and committee helped me gain an appreciation of how growth can be influenced by a wide range <br />of factors including the availability of resources needed to nurture, support and enhance growth <br />within the community. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I have a long history of public service and as a lifetime resident in Orange County I feel I have an <br />obligation to be a part of the process responsible for shaping its long term strategy and vision. I <br />am hoping to gain a better understanding of how the planning and development process works. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) <br />Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise <br />for this board. <br />State Employee’ Credit Union Advisory Committee <br />Committee Chair <br />2013-Present <br />Hillsborough Mayoral Election <br />Mayoral Candidate <br />2001 <br />Hillsborough Water and Sewer Advisory <br />Committee 2000-2005 <br />Committee Chair, Town Board Liason <br />Hillsborough Water and Sewer Task Force <br />1999-2000 <br />Vice-Chair, Authored Final Findings and Recommendations Report <br />What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? <br />As a life-long resident I have quite a bit of history when it comes to the evolution of development <br />within the county. I understand its people, economy, its natural beauty, as well as many of the <br />challenges and opportunities residents have living in Orange County. <br />The planning board probably has a greater opportunity to affect change than most other boards <br />and organizations. I have a willingness to serve the long range interests of the community and <br />understand that each decision we make has a long lasting impact. <br />34
