City Limits <br /> Gender Identity: Male <br /> Ethnic Background: White <br /> Age Range: 35-59 <br /> Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: <br /> Currently, I am not a member of any local community organizations. Prior to moving to <br /> Orange County, I was a member of the committee formed by the Chatham County <br /> Literacy Council to create a financial literacy curriculum targeted at the unbanked and <br /> underbanked population. We partnered with Headstart to provide a meal and childcare to <br /> attendees. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> NA <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Human Relations Commission <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> My background experience and education is relevant to the Board. I have been employed as <br /> an examiner by the FDIC for nearly 20 years, and part of my responsibilities are advising bank <br /> executives on business decisions. My ability to work with others from diverse social and <br /> economic backgrounds will help bridge the gap between leaders and community members. <br /> Another part of my job duties is reading, understanding, and implementing policies and <br /> regulations. It will allow me to provide assistance with identifying policies that may have <br /> disparate impact or treat people with discriminatory or unfair action. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I want to serve on the Board because I think it is important to support the community when <br /> possible. I was born into a certain position in the world that gave me a headstart on a lot of <br /> things, and I think it is important to try to offer a hand up to those that didn t win the same <br /> genetic lottery. People have no say into what position they are born into in society, and I don t <br /> think where they are born should limit what they are able to accomplish. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br />
