Several American Studies courses that address historic <br />preservation; past member of the Vernacular Architecture Forum; local photographer of historic <br />buildings/sites. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />An extra-curricular passion. Wish to help preserve Orange County history in the midst of <br />unprecedented growth. Help find the balance between growth/change and preservation <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />No <br />Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />I have a background in advertising; I travel extensively throughout Orange County; I am <br />interested in environmental and historical tourism. As a long term resident of the county, I know <br />the parks, the farms, and the cities. I ve hiked all the trails, read the history and explored the <br />lesser known areas of the county. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I am very interested in helping to establish/promote eco-tourism and historical tourism. We have <br />treasures to share! <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees <br />What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the <br />residents of Orange County? <br />I don't know enough as an outsider to recommend improvements. However, I can say that <br />through my work with the vocational training program at Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, I do <br />think there could be a closer working relationship between Orange County's public schools and <br />Durham Tech. I'd also like to see a close working relationship with the Economic Development <br />Office if it doesn't already exist. Finally, I would like to see greater emphasis placed on adult <br />basic literacy. As a county, I would like to adopt the goal of ensuring 100% of our adults can <br />read and compute basic math at the 8th grade level. <br />9
