I have <br />worked with organizations in the following issue areas: foster care, women s center, community <br />health, education, arts, United Way and others <br />I ve studied social services, non-profits, community support, human development, etc. that I feel <br />would provide a strong background for social service support. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I have an interest in better understanding the social service needs, resources and organizations <br />in our county. I feel like this board would expose me to that and allow me to intervene to provide <br />stronger social support to our community. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Economic Development Advisory Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />Again, I ve worked in nonprofits and studied community development which I believe would <br />prepare me with a good foundation to support this board. In addition, I am the daughter of a <br />small business owner and from a small town that supported local business so I have lived <br />experience in this category as well. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I ve read a lot on economic inequality and economic development. I have an interest in <br />supporting small-town revival in our nation and I believe one way to keep small-town living a <br />viable option is to ensure that charming small towns like Hillsborough nurture their economic <br />development and opportunity for residents to keep making money and providing taxes to support <br />social services and growth for the towns. i would love to be a part of that process for our own <br />community. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />37
