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 />Conflict of Interest: <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 />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 />Conflict of Interest: <br />Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br />33
