White Cross Volunteer Fire Department. <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> BOCC Elections Advisory Group <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I have been active in the community for more than a decade and being a resident I have <br /> experience many of the processes and policies. I bring large team leadership, development, <br /> project and program management experience. I have also had my own consulting business. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I was encouraged to join this advisory board. I am not quite certain how this board is going to <br /> function or its mandate beyond To study alternative methods/districts to elect the Board of <br /> County Commissioners and make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. I <br /> do not know if the county plans to appeal to the NCGA for permission to consider RCV or if the <br /> mandate is only within the rules currently spelled out in current laws (such as 153A-76). I feel as <br /> if many in the county feel underrepresented. I am not sure I can do anything to change that <br /> feeling but I would like to try. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Not certain given my lack of clarity on the goals and mission. I do have a fair amount of contacts <br /> in my community and I solicit and listen to their views often. I am a 66 year old white male who <br /> has been lucky in life and I like to give back to the community in which I live. Some might brand <br /> me privileged . <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br />
