New member Karen <br /> Bennett was introduced and welcomed , and members introduced themselves . <br /> None of the committees have met this month . New chairs need to be selected for the <br /> Health and Well-being Committee and Families and Children Committee, due to the <br /> resignations of Theresa Sull and Cindy McMahon . The Families and Children Committee <br /> has agreed to meet each month prior to the Commission meeting . <br /> Abbie Schwaderer reported that , following last month ' s meeting, she contacted the <br /> Courthouse regarding child abuse . She learned that approximately 1 /2 of the complaints <br /> that are received actually go to court , and of these 1 /4 end up with charges being made . <br /> Members discussed a possible recommendation that the courts keep statistics regarding <br /> child abuse complaints, cases , and the disposition of these cases . <br /> The Women ' s History Month committee will bring a timeline for First Women in Orange <br /> County to the January meeting . <br /> Membership - Commission and Student <br /> Cindy McMahon has resigned due to the difficulties of juggling going back to work and <br /> new motherhood . This means that there are two non- Chapel Hill/non-Hillsborough <br /> openings and two Hillsborough openings . Two applications were approved for <br /> submission to the County Commissioners : Jennifer Tennant and Jacky Philips . Kristen <br /> Dunivant was approved for the student position on the Commission . Staff will write the <br /> other applicants from Chapel Hill township residents and other students, offering them the <br /> opportunity to serve on the committees if they are interested in doing so , and inviting them <br /> to reapply in the fall (if they are still students) . Members asked staff to provide everyone a <br /> copy of each application under consideration in the future . <br /> Hillsborough 732 - 8181 • Chapel Hill 967 - 9251 Mebane 227 - 2031 Durham 68 & 7331 <br />
