Please describe, generally, your reasons for wanting to serve on the OWASA Board of <br /> Directors. <br /> As Director of Conservation at the NC Botanical Garden (1998-2023) 1 had the opportunity to <br /> work with OWASA staff on many issues and appreciate the commitment to drinking water <br /> quality, fiscal responsibility, wastewater treatment technology, and environmental responsibility. I <br /> am very interested in using my knowledge of OWASA's mission and practices toward current <br /> and future projects and challenges as urban areas expand, and offering my expertise as a <br /> biologist and restoration ecologist to support the management of OWASA easements and <br /> forests surrounding existing reservoirs. <br /> 2a. Please list/explain your experience, either professionally and/or from other <br /> boards/commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management. <br /> As a professional biologist/ecologist/botanist and Director of Conservation, I managed staff, <br /> interns, and volunteers, created yearly budgets, wrote (successful) grant proposals and <br /> contracts, and oversaw the conservation and management of 1,100 acres of nature preserves. I <br /> am also adjunct faculty in the UNC Department of Environment, Ecology, and Energy(E3P) and <br /> have and continue to supervise graduate students. <br /> 2b. In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the <br /> work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. <br />
