We did a lot of good in the past(e.g., tobacco use bans county-wide), but there <br /> always more to do. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I was the Pharmacist member of the Board and could always cover medication issues, but living <br /> and acting within the county can always provide a different perspective, independent of the <br /> designation that you may have. <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 /> Animal Services Advisory Board <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> My wife and I have participated in numerous shelters, and we have 3 dogs (all from shelters in <br /> the region) and 2 cats. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> There are far too many feral/homeless animals in our community that need support and fostering <br /> and forever homes, and it is a shame that this condition still persists. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I'm not sure, other than we live out in the country west of Carrboro, and we see too many <br /> animals being dumped out here and we may be able to educate more people across the country <br /> about this issue and offer positive solutions. It's a teachable moment. <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 /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
