My brother works in commercial construction, so I have seen the conflicts that can arise <br />between a local authority and industry first hand. I believe I could bring a wealth of knowledge <br />and enthusiasm to the Housing Authority. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I think housing is an issue this community is currently facing and with the future growth projected <br />it will only continue to be a bigger issue. I would like to be part of the solution of how to address <br />these problems in my community. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Affordable Housing Advisory Board <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />I am a student at UNC s School of Government and I am focusing on local affordable housing <br />issues.

In that <br />position as Treasurer I maintained all of our local, state and federal filings and organized <br />volunteers to work in a resource center, as well as maintain the financial records for the <br />organization. <br />What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to <br />accomplish if appointed? <br />To keep the community safe in terms of responsible alcohol consumption and providing <br />assistance to the staff and enforcement officers. <br />To prepare an annual budget. <br />To oversee the staff and make sure the commission is in compliance with all the regulations. <br />I would like to help modernize the systems in place and provide assistance to the staff with <br />questions about systems, regulations,and budgeting. <br />10
