113 <br /> Lisa Hazirjian <br /> I'm stepping forward as a nominee for Co-Chair for District One in hopes that my <br /> experience helping organizations develop effective & enjoyable group processes and <br /> design effective meetings can be an asset to the BEAG. In my years working in the <br /> nonprofit sector, as well as serving on the Carrboro Human Services Advisory Board, <br /> I've partnered with board members to develop outcome-oriented meeting agendas that <br /> make the most of limited opportunities to do collective thinking, share ideas, identify <br /> pivotal questions, and come to agreements. For example, this past fall & winter, I <br /> worked remotely with a nonprofit client to help a staff subcommittee articulate a short- <br /> term goal & desired outcome, break down steps to reach that result, and develop <br /> monthly meeting agendas to get us through the process. I also come to this process <br /> with track record of wanting as many perspectives as possible in public discourse and <br /> working hard to make space for everyone to be heard. As a member of the Carrboro <br /> Human Services Advisory Commission, to take one example, I partnered with the chair <br /> last year to make our budget recommendation meetings more inclusive and efficient <br /> (happy to explain the magic if you're interested!). I believe we have a tremendous team <br /> of people assembled in this group, and I want to do what I can to make sure we end this <br /> process feeling that both individually and collectively we've used our resources to fulfill <br /> our charge. I would be honored to serve in that capacity. <br />
