†¢Solely responsible for forensic accounting procedures, monitoring compliance, and initiating<br />
administrative systems that saved company $50K+ per year<br />
What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?<br />
I am independent, reliable, highly organized, imaginative, and detail-oriented self-starter. My<br />
drive and experience as a community volunteer would bring a unique perspective to the Orange<br />
County Planning Board.<br />
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to<br />
accomplish if appointed?<br />
I see the Planning Board as the entity responsible for making studies of Orange County and<br />
being of service to the County Commissioners to carryout their vision and plans.<br />
If appointed, I would represent the Eno Township and advocate for the interests of its residents<br />
while balancing the needs and vision of other parts of Orange County.<br />
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related<br />
to growth?<br />
I feel that Orange County occasionally misses out on economic development opportunities.<br />
Then other counties swoop in and often receive opportunities that Orange County could have<br />
monopolized (like Tanger Outlets being built in Alamance County due to unfinished water lines in<br />
outlying areas of Orange County).<br />
What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?<br />
The Planning Board serves in an advisory capacity only. We can suggest ideas to guide and<br />
regulate growth but the ultimate decisions rest with the County Commissioners and local<br />
government representatives.<br />
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of<br />
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?<br />
I would work to support the Board of Commissioners overall goals and priorities by being an active community<br />
volunteer and informed board member. I would continually study and work to increase my knowledge to be of further<br />
service in any way possible.<br />
