26 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Robert Morgan <br /> Affordable Housing Advisory Board <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> As a member of the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry Board &volunteer we were constantly <br /> concerned about affordable housing in Polk County. TBOM had been directly involved in the <br /> construction of a low cost housing facility in Polk County, prior to my membership but our Board <br /> maintained a direct contact in the management of the facility. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> Availability of decent, affordable, housing is fundamental to the functioning of a community. I am <br /> particularly concerned that public service employees (police, firemen, etc) be able to afford to <br /> live in the community. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> While living in Polk County(NC) I served as Board Member and Treasurer of The Thermal Belt <br /> Outreach Ministry(A private organization serving the needs of less fortunate residents of Polk <br /> County). During my tenure we made a thorough study of the possibility of offering affordable <br /> housing to our clients. Further, I am a "team player" believing that through teamwork and <br /> respect for the ideas of others the best results are found. <br /> If I can provide further information, please let me know. I remain hopeful I can be of service to <br /> the citizens of Orange County. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> Blessed by an outstanding technical education (M.I.T.) &graduate education (MBA-Wharton) I <br /> have always believed in the need for continuing education on the part of those interested in <br /> having a fulfilling life both for their vocation as well as general knowledge. On a different level I <br /> served as a school board member and president of an outstanding elementary school in <br /> suburban Chicago. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> To participate in assuring continuing education to those who seek it. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 7/29/2020 Date Printed: 7/29/2020 <br />
