Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough,NC 27278 <br /> Re: Board Appointments <br /> The Orange County Human Relations Commission(HRC)recommends Jenn Sykes to fill Position <br /> #3 (at-large)position and Anjail Taylor to fill position#4 (at-large). <br /> Jenn Sykes has experience working on various Orange County advisory boards. She exhibits vast <br /> knowledge regarding the outside agency funding process, and that experience would be conducive <br /> to the HRC and its new members. <br /> Coming from and representing the northern and rural part of the County, Anjail Taylor, would <br /> bring a desired perspective to the HRC. Her experience working with Government Alliance <br /> Against Race and Equity(GARE) in Durham County would be an asset as an HRC member. <br /> Applicant,Nathalie Volkheimer, seems suited to serve but most of her experience is in Australia. <br /> She expressed an interest to be involved with the Orange County community, but is still new to <br /> the area. <br /> Finally, the HRC asks the Board of County Commissioners to consider postponing further <br /> appointments until more applications to join the HRC are submitted for review. <br /> W2e_Lvvs l nme- W'Ma <br /> Melvyn Blackwell, <br /> Civil Rights Specialist, Orange County Department of Human Rights and Relations <br />
