DTCC is an essential resource <br />to our local community for provided an educational foundation upon which individuals and <br />families can build a foundation for the type of economic success needed to support our local <br />communities. I believe that my legal and personal perspectives would be valuable to the Board <br />of Trustees in promoting the goals and programs of the institution. <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 />An important connection between local agencies and courts with DTCC should be made to <br />create new avenues for youth and other offenders to break a cycle of incarceration and release. <br />Local resources should be cultivated to expand awareness of existing educational programs that <br />families who have been impacted by incarceration, domestic violence and divorce can use to <br />establish economic self-sufficiency. <br />The quality of information given to high school students in Orange County regarding the <br />programs and resources available through DTCC should be improved to help students evaluate <br />the options and career paths available to them during and after high school. <br />21
