6 <br /> April 1, 2022 <br /> To: Bonnie Hammersley, Orange County Manager <br /> Re: Naming the new Visitors Center Conference room, "The Lee Pavao Conference Room' <br /> Fr: Ken Broun, former Mayor of Chapel Hill;UNC Law Professor, current Orange County resident <br /> I am writing to support the Visitors Bureau's request to name the new downtown Welcome Center's <br /> meeting room: The Lee Pavao Conference Room,in honor of the late Lee Pavao, a longtime champion of <br /> economic development,tourism and a well-respected member of our Orange County community. <br /> Laurie Paolicelli has fully set out Mr. Pavao's credentials and his remarkable service to our community. I <br /> had the honor of serving on the Chapel Hill Town Council with Mr.Pavao for four years. No one I <br /> worked with in Chapel Hill cared more about Chapel Hill and Orange County. He loved this community <br /> and was devoted to the promotion of it. He worked long and hard with the Visitors Bureau and many <br /> other Chapel Hill and Orange County organizations. <br /> Lee Pavao was a great citizen of this area. He was loved by all who knew him. His public service record <br /> places him among the most important figures in our community over the past 30 years. His name and that <br /> of the Visitors Center are virtually synonymous. It would be entirely fitting to have the meeting room at <br /> the new downtown Welcome Center named the Lee Pavao Conference room. <br /> Ken Broun <br />
