I ve volunteered <br /> for Meals on Wheels, the Hillsborough Water Sewer Advisory Committee, and Piedmont Food <br /> and Agricultural Processing Center. <br /> As a long-time manager for a local business, I understand the important role that local <br /> government can play in strengthening communities through economic development. Weaver <br /> Street Market has always tried to partner with the community and the local governments to serve <br /> the needs of the community. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I m vitally interested in strengthening the food system here in the county and in the surrounding <br /> area, making me a good candidate for the Ag/Food Systems position. Also as a resident, I think <br /> that keeping the unique rural/urban mix that works together to make our area so attractive to <br /> potential residents and potential businesses/employers is key. I think that my small business <br /> perspective would add value to the deliberations of the Economic Development Commission. <br /> Finally, I haven t served Orange County with any of my volunteer activities up to now, and would <br /> like to meet new people and experience fresh perspectives through my involvement. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
