I am taking courses revealing the financial institutions and <br /> economic factors that make up the vast community of business in Orange County. My business <br /> education will enable me to work cohesively with the Countys€TMs Economic Development staff <br /> and faithfully execute the mission of the Economic Development Advisory Board. I have served <br /> in local government as a member of the Onslow County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council <br /> where I collaborated with community stakeholders to improve youth diversion programs for <br /> delinquents and child offenders. I have also served as Chairman of the Jacksonville City Youth <br /> Council where I oversaw operations of the city-wide council. We provided professional and <br /> leadership development to teenagers and served as the official youth voice of the city. Also, for <br /> three years, I advocated youth representation in state government in meetings with NC Senate <br /> Majority Leader Harry Brown, State Representative Phil Shepard, NC Secretary of <br /> Administration Michelle Sanders, and NC Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest. I developed close <br /> connections with staffers in the NC General Assembly and in Governor Coopers€TMs <br /> Administration. In addition, I served as a Governors€TMs Page, able to interact with instrumental <br /> staff in Coopers€TMs administration and further strengthen bonds Is€TMve formed throughout <br /> North Carolina state government. As Executive Director of the Institute for Effective Change, I <br /> met with Congressmen across the state including Mark Meadows, David Rouzer, the Late <br /> Walter B. Jones, and G.K. Butterfield. Additionally, I was recognized by Governor Cooper as an <br /> outstanding volunteer and steward of community in 2018. 1 am equipped and excited to serve <br /> Orange County on the Economic Development Advisory Board! <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />
