I ve volunteered <br />for Meals on Wheels, the Hillsborough Water Sewer Advisory Committee, and Piedmont Food <br />and Agricultural Processing Center. <br />As a long-time manager for a local business, I understand the important role that local <br />government can play in strengthening communities through economic development. Weaver <br />Street Market has always tried to partner with the community and the local governments to serve <br />the needs of the community. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I m vitally interested in strengthening the food system here in the county and in the surrounding <br />area, making me a good candidate for the Ag/Food Systems position. Also as a resident, I think <br />that keeping the unique rural/urban mix that works together to make our area so attractive to <br />potential residents and potential businesses/employers is key. I think that my small business <br />perspective would add value to the deliberations of the Economic Development Commission. <br />Finally, I haven t served Orange County with any of my volunteer activities up to now, and would <br />like to meet new people and experience fresh perspectives through my involvement. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />11
