New Hope Audubon Society - <br /> Advocacy Committee. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> none <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Affordable Housing Advisory Board <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> Retired Financial Analyst. Realtor. Community organizer for civic causes at the local and state <br /> level. Examples include Clean energy policies, net metering policies, voting rights advocacy. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> One of the best ways to ensure a thriving community is to provide economic stability for its <br /> residents. One way to do that is to build equity trough homeownership. Unfortunately the reality <br /> is that this has become les and less of an option for many. By serving on this Advisory Board I <br /> would hope to find solutions to level the playing field to make possibility of homeownership a <br /> viable option to more people within the community. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> After having moved away from Cambridge MA and living in a more homogeneous community for <br /> 18 years I felt the need to live in a more diverse community again. That is a major reason I <br /> moved to the triangle area specifically for the diversity of people, ethnicity and range of <br /> viewpoints. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br />
