I chaired the Parish Council at my local Catholic <br /> Church and served on the Board of the Orange Congregations in Mission. I have been on <br /> the Board of Directors of my HOA (I do not currently serve in that capacity so I would not <br /> have any conflict of interest.) <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> Board of Equalization and Review. <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Board of Equalization and Review (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I am an attorney(currently retired from the practice of law). I have a deep background in <br /> litigation involving financial transactions, including real estate matters. My service for several <br /> years on the Board of Equalization and Review added to my knowledge and experience. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I am always looking for opportunities to serve my local community. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> It is important to have Board members who are not real estate professionals or appraisers. It is <br /> important that Board members have an open mind concerning the various types of information <br /> which homeowners/taxpayers present in support of their positions concerning the valuation of <br /> their property.. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
