15 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Wilson Greene <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I care deeply for this community. After graduating from UNC, my partner and I could not stand <br /> the idea of moving away--our close friends and neighbors feel the same. Indeed, Orange County <br /> is one of the fastest growing counties in the state and in the country. As more folks flock to the <br /> area, decisions concerning development practices, land and water conservation efforts, and <br /> local response to climate change and climate disasters become all the more consequential. <br /> want to serve on this board to play my own small part in assisting our leaders in making the most <br /> informed and prudent decisions possible as our community grows. I want to serve on this board <br /> to play my own small part in serving the community that has given me so much. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> As stated above, much of career experience has focused on natural disaster recovery and <br /> resiliency work for the state. While this is a niche field, it is becoming more relevant as climate <br /> change causes more and more frequent disaster events--our own community is no stranger to <br /> flooding. With that in mind, my participation on this board would maybe bring specific and <br /> diverse viewpoints regarding community resiliency towards future climate events, how the State <br /> can assist communities with environmental planning efforts, and how different pockets of our <br /> county may be disproportionately affected by decisions made (or indecision) by our local leaders. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 1/12/2023 2:32:24 PM Date Printed: 1/13/2023 <br />
