I am her guardian. We <br />purchased a duplex in Carrboro so she could be located right beside us forever (she resides <br />there with a full-time caregiver). I have two advanced degrees in Special Education (PhD from <br />UNC) and have worked in the field of IDD for decades. The duties of several jobs consisted of <br />monitoring and reporting on the compliance of counties in providing appropriate services to <br />persons with IDD, who had moved from institutions to their communities. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I take my Guardianship duties seriously and want all persons wih IDD to receive good care. I <br />would also like to use the knowledge I acquired in my work as a legal monitor, in a relevant way. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />None that I know of. My sister is part of the Innovations Waiver and her services are monitored <br />by Cardinal. Their work may come into conversation. <br />10
