My professional work has focused on water policy at the federal and state levels. I saw <br /> that there is a request for someone with experience with water resources. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I want to serve the community. In my work in state government I care about public service. I m <br /> curious to learn more about the work of the board. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Background in community, Tribal, and stakeholder engagement and I recognize the importance <br /> of communication early and often in the decision making process. I bring experience in policy <br /> development and the perspective from government which could help develop policy <br /> recommendations that are useful to government agencies. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> I am a policy advisor for the NC Department of Environmental Quality. If selected, I would need <br /> to check to see if I am allowed as a government employee to serve at the local level on a <br /> volunteer board. I don t think this is a problem but would want to double check. <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
