City Limits <br /> Gender Identity: Male <br /> Ethnic Background: White <br /> Age Range: 60+ <br /> Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: <br /> Meals on Wheels Orange County <br /> ISLA NC <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> None yet <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Arts Commission <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> When I was younger, I thought I'd like to be an architect because I was entranced by how <br /> humans interacted with the space around them, natural and structural. Instead I became a <br /> university professor and management consultant, because I was entranced by how humans <br /> interacted with the communities and organizational structures around them. What I've learned is <br /> that public art helps communities thrive. And that's why I'd like to help strengthen the <br /> connection between art and the people of this community. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> Semi-retirement has given me more time for other work. I have been looking for opportunities to <br /> volunteer with community-based organizations. Volunteering with a group that recognizes how <br /> art of all stripes interacts with and enlivens a community seems like exactly the kind of work I'd <br /> like to focus on. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> It's impossible to answer this question without either satire or sarcasm. I can't think of a single <br /> thing that would make sense. And, honestly, these days you could get yourself into trouble with <br /> questions like this. <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 />
