The Cape Fear Museum is a valuable regional institution that preserves and exhibits artifacts related to the history and scientific achievements of Southeast North Carolina and plays a critical role in educating the community on those achievements and history. The board can provide necessary community input to the Museum's strategic direction and its role in the greater Wilmington community. Additionally, I see many opportunities for collaboration between UNCW and local area museums, historical societies and public libraries.

What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I do not see this as a concern, but I believe that the Cape Fear Museum should continue to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all members of our community as well as visitors to the county. Exhibits should continue to include those that chronicle ALL the rich history and scientific achievements of the region, including the history of underrepresented groups.

I am a parent first for 26 years as I have been raising my 4 sons since birth in Wilmington. I have children ages 7, 18, 22 and 26 and all have been students of New Hanover County Schools. They are all involved in sports through local recreational programs, school programs as well as travel programs. These experiences with my children have given me the greatest opportunities to become close friends with families outside of my immediate circle; from Landfall, the Winter Park Community, to Creekwood. My friendships and my students at UNCW are my greatest resources of knowledge and allow me to continue to personally learn and grow my perspective about diverse people and communities. It also makes the actions of our government Board of Commissigners - October 17, 2022 ITEM: 13- 2 - 22 and concerns in communities personal to me; there is not one community that I do not have some sort of personal connection with. These relationships allow me to be a true representative of everyone in New Hanover County. I am a wife. We are not wealthy, we do not own a business and I say this because it allows me to have no sense of obligation to anyone or any entity other than the people I would serve. I have been an educator my entire professional career and my husband of 26 years has worked in the social work field in New Hanover County for over 25 years with youth who face tremendous family, academic, mental health and societal challenges, adults with mental health disabilities and currently with the homeless and finding housing and resources for them. We chose professions in which we are intertwined at all times with giving something to those we serve and learning about their needs from each of them personally, not from a report or the media. I am a child and community advocate. I have worked diligently to advocate Williston Middle School and now for New Hanover High School since 2014. This school is a cesspool of inequity and violations of federal law. I worked tirelessly to have air conditioning in Brogden Hall for the first time in 2015. 1 am the person behind the push for the gym floor repairs for said historical gym. I obviously know how to professionally advocate for justice for students as there are results. There is a lot more to do but it can only be done with funding, specific, strict and with great oversight, that this endowment committee can provide. I am an educator always. My professional and community service provided in the previous questions show this so I do not feel compelled to share it again here. I am very privy to the needs in this community, how people in this community feel when they perceive themselves to be valued and when they feel undervalued and forgotten. Some one needs to speak for these wonderfully gifted people and advocate for them and I am certain that I am that person. Through my treasured work at UNCW I have the privilege of being in schools every semester, pre and post pandemic, and observe first hand the most amazing work of these Title I schools. I know how administrators are able to create emotionally safe environments conducive to learning with the little they have and have imagined how much more incredible opportunities they can create for their teachers and students if they had what they needed. The same is true for the teachers and how tirelessly they work above and beyond their duties to create learning environments that are socially and emotionally safe. They need more, their students deserve more and I want to represent them. As an active member of this community for over 30 years I would like to represent the youth in this community, families in the community as well as be an influential change maker in the socio-economic opportunities for all citizens. In addition, I have watched New Hanover County at its best and at it's worst through prosperity, triumphs and challenges including recovery from hurricanes and the current pandemic. My biggest concerns and those that I am very knowledgeable about are the NHC Schools, youth violence, mental health, systemic poverty, and opportunities for personal and financial growth. All of these are direct influences on how healthy or unhealthy, how safe and unsafe a community is. I very much want to serve on this committee with transparency, honesty, compassion, a willingness to learn as much as I can and to represent the too often misunderstood and underrepresented gold mines of people in this community. Thank you very much for your time. I would love to come speak in person and further explain my true passion to serve. Kindest regards, Katrina Aldrich What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Community support, education, mental health, physical health and efforts to reduce youth violence by means of prevention, and not the usual prevention. Qualifications for serving: 30 years as a NHC citizen Active in many communities An educator at the elementary and middle school levels, and community college and university levels for over 30 years Other municipal or county boards/committees on which you are serving: None but interested in more :) List three local personal references and phone numbers: Reference 1 Dr. Candace Thompson Reference 1 Phone (910) 962-2648 Reference 2 Kristine Branch Board of Commissio5ners - October 17, 2022 ITEM: 13- 2 - 23 Reference 2 Phone (910)431-6034 Reference 3 Kate Baynard Reference 3 Phone (910)612-8359 Additional comments: I would also like to include that as a wife of an African -American man, and mother of 4 multi -racial sons, I have a unique set of experiences that allow me to have a better understanding of the triumphs and challenges in the black community in NHC. While I will never know what it is to be black in our community, country and world, I do have a greater perspective about it than many of my white counterparts. Of my four children, my oldest has graduated from Cape Fear Academy and second son from New Hanover High School. The oldest is now working full time and excelling in his career in the hotel industry. My second son is a senior in college on a D-1 basketball scholarship and excelling in academics and athletics. Sadly, 3 of my 4 children were at locations in NHC that had a shooting. This past summer my then 21 and 6 year olds were at a park downtown watching a basketball tournament and they had to run and hide from the gunfire, and saw a person being shot. My third son at NHHS was there when a student was shot. I was tremendously concerned at the previous shootings in our community and began extensive research efforts on change. While I am knowledgeable about trauma and children, seeing it and not just reading about it and knowing my sons who make good decisions, practice safety and are aware of their surroundings can be affected, revved me up even more to to find a way to actively engage in change.

Hoggard High School Football Program Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? I have been a resident of New Hanover County since 1997 and plan to live here for the rest of my life. My entire career as an analyst in the Federal government and thirty years as a public administration professor and academic administrator has been dedicated to public service and improving the quality of life in the communities in which I have lived and worked. I would welcome the opportunity to serve on the New Hanover Community Endowment and work with the other distinguished members and county leadership to make the best possible decisions regarding where to invest community resources to address the most pressing problems facing our region. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I have no pre -ordained agenda as to where resources should be directed, but I would be committed to helping structure a quality process where all voices and perspectives would be heard and the best possible evidence used to make decisions in the best interests of the entire community. With that said, I would be very interested in addressing the issues that are fundamental to the quality of life for everyone in a community including health, education, safety, environment, food security, jobs and housing. I would also be interested in examining the indicators that are used to assess how well we are performing in these areas, and directing resources to areas and programs where the needle can be moved in a positive direction. Qualifications for serving: I am a "pracademic", serving in both the federal government for ten years with the Department of Health and Human Services, and then for the past thirty years as a public administration professor, twenty of those years with UNC Wilmington serving as both a faculty member and significant stints as the founding Director of the Master of Public Administration program, Chair of the Department of Political Science and Public Affairs, and Interim Vice Chancellor/Dean of the Division of Public Service and Continuing Studies.

C. Virgo Preparatory Academy School and Community Resiliency Committee, 2018-present Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? As stated within the brief on functions, I too seek opportunities to bring awareness and enhance present "gaps" within our community in the areas of health improvement, education, safety, and economic opportunities for everyone in our New Hanover County community. Having the opportunity to be a "voice" for those who are not capable or able to share needs is crucial when the goal is to make sure everyone is heard and has a say for the betterment of our community. Endowments, grants and gifts are such a blessing to receive and can foster a well-rounded community in which everyone are winners. I hope my expertise as a educator and community advocate can be of usefulness on this committee. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Being an educator of color, I would like to see "gaps" that address equity and diversity within the education profession in regards to recruitment, retaining of teachers of color. How can we recruit future teachers of color within our middle/high school and post secondary students? Regarding improvements in health among all populations but primarily our "seasoned seniors"...what can we do to bring about a more "hands on approach"...going into the neighborhoods and provide educational trainings/professional developments awareness on the importance of curtailing diabetes, hypertension, etc. I believe educationing the "whole family" is key. Qualifications for serving: I consider myself a "perpetual learner" and believe my 30+ years as a educator, community advocate in building and establishing partnerships to support all stakeholders in the learning process is important. The understanding and the building of resiliency within schools and our communities has also been an committment I seek and have advocated for. Presently, I serve as a member of the D.C. Virgo Community and School Resiliency Committee, in which cultivating authentic relationship for all stakeholder is effort but so needed within our community. Volunteerism is important within communities. It is a great way to give back and support not only staff but families. My time spent at UNCW and D.C. Virgo has fostered meaningful relationships.

Gender Female Race Mixed Age 62 Do you have a family member employed by New Hanover County? Board of Commissioners - October 17, 2022 ITEM: 13- 2 - 42 No Applicant's Employer Owner of Art in Bloom Gallery Occupation Art Gallery Owner Professional Activities I am a member of the Arts Council of Wilmington and New Hanover County and the Downtown Business Alliance (DBA). Art in Bloom Gallery works with student intems and hosts field trips by faculty and students from Cape Fear Community College and UNC Wilmington. I have an MS degree in Library Science (Information Science & Technology) from Drexel University with a focus upon community learning spaces. I have also written articles for various print and digital publications about our Greater - Wilmington community as an arts destination and economic engine. Volunteer Activities I volunteer at B'nai Israel Synagogue, e.g., serving on the arts committee. Since 2018, 1 have juried and judged art shows for Cape Fear Community College (Wilma W. Daniels Gallery); the Bellamy Mansion Museum; and the Hannah Block Community Center (Orange Street Arts Festival). Last year, I gave a talk at the Cameron Art Museum on the art of Elizabeth Bradford in her art exhibit, "A House of One Room". I volunteer with Fritzi Huber, a teaching artist at DREAMS Center for Arts Education, to coordinate and stage art exhibits for students and mentors in the DREAMS Learning Gallery. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? I wish to serve on the New Hanover Community Endowment Board to bring creativity and an art activist's perspective to discussions and advice on how the Endowment may have maximum impact across our community in a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible way. I believe Art has the power to transform lives and to have a positive impact on generations. Art is vital to the Endowment's mission to "improve the health, education, safety, and economic opportunity of every person in the New Hanover County community .... to identify and address the root challenges in these areas, aiming for long-lasting and deeply impactful solutions." From a historical perspective, we see the important role of art and the creative imagination across time. The art community in Wilmington is vibrant and diverse with so much to offer to the Endowment's work. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Continuing to listen to people is important and to build relationships with individuals and groups already working on health, education, safety, and economic opportunity. Don't reinvent the wheel. One area of concern involves encouraging collaboration and uniting people vs. creating an atmosphere of scarcity. I read that Wilmington has over 1200 non-profit organizations, and there are many individuals and organizations in the for -profit sector who are working on solutions. How will the Endowment bring people and groups together? Another concern is how to provide support and services to underserved populations and how to promote racial equity and justice. Given Wilmington's past and present, we have many barriers and challenges. The process for the approval and installation of the Black Lives Do Matter" art installation is a recent example of the forces and people in our community still rooted in the backwards thinking of the 1930's and prior decades, and centuries of racial inequity. The art installation is also an example of how art stimulates thinking and conversation to improve life in our community for everyone. Qualifications for serving: As noted above, I have experience serving on municpal and county boards. In the past, I served on the Municipal Service District (MSD) Board during its first years requiring interactions with many concerned people and complex questions. My strengths are in active listening, conflict resolution, and relationship building. My experience with the arts community brings perspective on the transformative power of the arts across all issues. I would bring research and writing skills via my MS degree in Library Science (Information Science & Technology) with a focus on community learning spaces. Last, but not least, as an art activist, I see the power of tapping into our unique and diverse arts community to help guide the Endowments work. Other municipal or county boards/committees on which you are serving: I am the City Council's appointee on the Board of Trustees of Thalian Center for the Performing Arts. I am also on the New Hanover County Public Library Advisory Board.

Previously served on boards of the Dance Cooperative and NHC Smart Start and on the communications committee for Domestic Violence Shelter and Services. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? It is important to me to be of services to the community, and I believe I would be a good fit for the community endowment board. I am invested in the health and well-being of our community. With my work with the Child Development Center, I have seen how a lack of affordable housing is forcing many families with special needs children to leave the area because they can no longer afford to live here, despite the fact that NHC provides excellent resources for children with special needs. I've seen how interagency collaboration improves outcomes for children and families. Because I have written or assisted with writing grants for collaborative projects as well as for single organizations, I understand the essential, yet complex, relationships between service organizations and funding entities. I also understand issues related to compliance and reporting. Because of these experiences I believe I can bring insight and experience to the Community Endowment board. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Affordable housing, after -school services, health and mental health services, early childhood services. Qualifications for serving: Experience as a nonprofit board member, committee member, and a small business owner. Prior to opening my own business, I also worked for a variety of educational and service -related organizations including the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and a nonprofit Head Start program.

No Applicant's Employer Board of Commissioners - October 17, 2022 ITEM: 13- 2 - 58 WebMD Health Services Occupation Director - Healthcare Professional Activities Active as member of multiple Professional Healthcare Membership Organizations - Nationally Volunteer Activities Current - Board Member of New Hanover Community Endowment and UNC Chapel Hill Economics Board Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? I have been honored to have the opportunity to serve on the Board for the past 2 years. I serve on numerous key committees and am very active and engaged as a board member. The Endowment represents a tremendous opportunity for us to transform our community for the better for all citizens of NHC. I believe that my personal and professional experience can be leveraged on the Board and for the community. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Much work has been accomplished over the past few years to stand up the Endowment but a lot of significant work is still ahead. There should continue to be a huge focus on strategic grant making to ensure the mission is accomplished and transformation happens in the community. Qualifications for serving: Introduction: My name is Shannon Winslow and I currently serve on the Board of the New Hanover Community Endowment (NCHE). I consider it an honor and a privilege to serve on this board. It is a very exciting time for New Hanover County as we have an opportunity to transform the community with this Endowment. I serve on several key committees on the Endowment Board and have been a very active and engaged board member. My professional and personal experiences enable me to offer a unique perspective that can continue to be leveraged for the benefit of our community. As a 45-year resident of New Hanover County, it is important to me that the mission, vision and values of the NHCE are achieved so that ALL can thrive. I want New Hanover County to be the model to which every other county in the United States tries to emulate. I have outlined a few areas of experience in each of the NHCE pillars below with regards to my qualifications to serve on this board. Education: Public Primary, Secondary and Post -Secondary I have children in both public primary and secondary schools in New Hanover County as well as post -secondary. I am actively involved in my children's education and in speaking with and building relationships with New Hanover County teachers and staff. Having children currently in the NHC school system and at UNCW allows me to understand the current education landscape along with areas of opportunity. My perspective and experience will allow me to offer valuable insight to our board regarding how we can make an impact in this area through strategic grant making. In addition to my children being students in the NHC school system, I was also a student in New Hanover County Schools (K- 12) and I received an MBA from UNCW in 2001. Health and Social Equity I am a Director of Strategy at WebMD Health Services and work with large global employers on their health and well-being programs for their employees, spouses/domestic partners, and dependents. I have nearly twenty years of healthcare experience in medical, pharmacy, and wellness. During that time, I have had the opportunity to work with companies on healthcare services including: Goldman Sachs, Campbells Soup, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Discovery Channel, American Express, General Motors, Stellantis (Formerly Chrysler), US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, US Dept of Energy, and Berkshire Hathaway. I also worked with Johns Hopkins for over a decade on healthcare and pharmacy strategies. In the past year, I have worked with 2 Fortune 100 companies (with Global populations) to design award winning healthcare programs for employees and dependents to help decrease health risks. I led the strategic planning for both of these companies in the area of health and wellness. These companies have very diverse populations in which there was a range of health disparities (Social Determinants of Health). I am very involved with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Initiatives with multiple Global employers as it relates to healthcare. I actively share best practices across the US with employer clients on DE&I and design healthcare strategies in this area. My healthcare and pharmacy experience includes traveling to Europe on behalf of Fortune 100 companies to share US healthcare strategies and best practices for implementation in other global markets. I have served as a Subject Matter Expert in healthcare strategies and outcomes in population health. I believe that my healthcare and pharmacy knowledge and expertise offer a very unique perspective and can continue to be leveraged on the board of the New Hanover Community Endowment. Public Safety I have served on many committees and boards in New Hanover County in the past 3 decades including the Carousel Center Board of Commissioners - October 17, 2022 ITEM: 13- 2 - 59 and the Domestic Violence Shelter, to address safety concerns. I have a diversity of experience in the area of public safety and understand this is an important area of focus for the NHCE. Community Development Since graduating from UNC and moving back to my hometown of Wilmington, NC, I have always served in the community. I spent many years as a banker in Wilmington with NationsBank/Bank of America. I was very involved with several initiatives in the area of community development including initiatives with the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, I led initiatives for NationsBank/Bank of America in the area of CRA (Community Reinvestment Act). The area of community development encompasses a number of areas and I have a diversity of experience both personally and professionally. One very unique perspective is recent experience that I have been fortunate to receive. In working with large employers and designing their incentive design structures for healthcare, there is a trend to incentivize employees to volunteer in community development. As a result, I have been involved in discussions around the US whereby I hear about different initiatives in community development activities. Summary I am a strong believer that we should always be looking to leverage the best practices of others and explore ways that these types of activities could work in our own community. We need to be creative and strategic to find solutions to very complex issues and problems. I will continue to share ideas and best practices with our board and NHCE Staff for opportunities to implement successful initiatives within New Hanover Co to better the lives all citizens. Thank you for your consideration to be reappointed to the Board of the New Hanover Community Endowment. Other municipal or county hoards/committees on which you are serving: I am not currently serving on any other county boards. Serving on this board is an honor and a large responsibility and at times requires 30+ hours per week. I have previously served on many over the years.
