I have a degree in Economics from the Wharton School and an <br /> M.F.A, in Film/Screenwriting from the University of Miami. I have been an actor, stage director, <br /> college instructor business person, non-profit Artistic Director(East Wind Theatre Company, NY; <br /> Philadelphia Area Repertory Theater), Executive Director (Delaware Vally Arts Institute; The <br /> ArtsCenter), and taught for the Lincoln Center(NY;) in their arts in education non profit. I was the <br /> founder of FimFest (Bucks County, PA) a yearly film festival. All of this diversity is relevant to the <br /> functioning of any board. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I am 77 years old and concerned about, what I perceive to be, a dearth of senior resources in <br /> Carrboro. I am well aware of the work that Orange County has done in serving senior citizens, <br /> but feel as though there are more ways to serve us. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I am a senior citizen and understand the problems facing my peers. I am married to a senior <br /> citizen who is further challenged by being a survivor of a debilitating illness. I was a caretaker for <br /> my mother, while she was alive. I was a Teaching Artist and administrator, who brought arts- <br /> related programs into senior living environments. In short. my background in the arts, business <br /> and education gives me a broad perspective from which to generate ideas. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s)that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br />
