10 <br /> Relevant Experience Board #1 <br /> Please see above for a general biographical overview of my community activities and interests. Member, <br /> Orange-Durham Cattlemen's Association (since 2008) Board Member, Orange-Durham Cattlemen's <br /> Association (since 2016) Recruited candidate (twice) for the USDA FSA County Advisory Committee <br /> Reasons Want to Serve Board#1 <br /> I am very interested in exploring and facilitating preservation of rural communities in Orange County. On <br /> our property, we have the foundational ruins of the original Oaks Post Office/General Store and a <br /> historical roadbed. We enrolled in the VAD program in 2019 and continue exploring other ways to ensure <br /> long term conservation/preservation of our property as agricultural land. I think it is vitally important for <br /> information to be shared with farmers and land owners to help support and preserve our agricultural <br /> history and resources. <br /> Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 <br /> My background in public health affords deep appreciation of the interconnectedness of our physical, <br /> historical and social/political environments on individual and community well-being. Population growth <br /> combined with climate pressures are critical forces that will impact our collective well-being, requiring us <br /> to be forward thinking in how we manage land resources to balance the need for local food production, <br /> open space, and historical preservation. <br /> Conflict of Interest Board #1 <br /> None --except at the point of renewal of our VAD for which I would seek to be excused from voting. <br /> Relevant Experience Board #2 <br /> Reasons Want to Serve Board #2 <br /> Diversity of Viewpoints Board #2 <br /> Conflict of Interest Board #2 <br /> Reasons Want to Serve Board #3 <br /> Relevant Experience Board #3 <br /> Diversity of Viewpoints Board #3 <br /> Elizabeth G Hooten <br />
