I <br /> developed a wonderful relationship with a number of OCAS personnel who are there to this day , <br /> and I hope some of that history would help establish credibility and trust as a new member of the <br /> advisory board . In cooperation with Bob Marotto, I produced the Pet of the Month feature in the <br /> NOC and protected that feature even as we downsized the staff and page count of the paper. I now <br /> work in marketing as a consultant and product manager, and I have a wealth of experience in <br /> consumer research, content development, marketing, and product strategy and innovation, all of <br /> which I think might be brought to bear on the efforts of the OCAS and its mission . I have done <br /> some consulting work for Nestle Purina as they sought to better understand the consumer profile of <br /> the pet owner and what their unmet needs are. I think that experience gives me a bit of Insight <br /> into the minds of current and prospective pet owner and the kinds of messages that can resonate <br /> with them . <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board : Stated in a prior answer, but to reiterate, I am <br /> passionate about animal welfare, I have deep respect for the work that Bob and his team do, and I <br /> want to do my part to help OCAS serve the community and its residents, its animals and wildlife, <br /> and its environment. I am the loving owner of a long line of rescue animals, many of which were <br /> adopted from the OCAS shelter. If I can help OCAS find homes for Its animals, find support for its <br /> mission, find donations for Its services, find coverage and exposure for its efforts, or anything else <br /> it needs, it would be the very least I could do to repay the years and years of companionship and <br /> love I ve gotten from the animals in their charge . <br /> Personal or business interest(s ) that could create a conflict of interest: <br /> Serving On : <br /> Community Activities/ Organizational Memberships : I am currently do not have any <br /> organizational memberships, but I have been an active member of the North Carolina Press <br /> Association and Habitat for Humanity . I have also volunteered with the OCAS . My young son is <br /> entering kindergarten this year, and I am looking forward to rededicating myself to the Orange <br /> County community now that III have just a little bit of extra time for service . <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards : n/a <br /> http ' //intranet. orangecountync . gov/boards/applicant- detail . asp ?selApplicant-2145 645 824& . . . 2/4/2019 <br />
