TO THE EDITOR:
I support Pam Hemminger for Chapel Hill mayor. I have been associated with Pam since 2005 when we shared time on the Rainbow Soccer board of directors. Pam was always the balance in the room and her financial awareness allowed the organization to grow and flourish.
In the past three years, I have worked with Pam on several commercial real estate endeavors and believe her understanding of long term planning coupled with her knowledge of finance will serve our community well.
During our work together, I have always appreciated her keen awareness and attention to the effects that decisions will have on those who will be impacted — whether it be children on the soccer field or employees in a renovated building. I have no doubt that Pam will bring that same level of considerate decision-making to Town Hall.
Additionally, the citizens of Chapel Hill will benefit from Pam’s vast experience, including her work as a member of the Chapel Hill Board of Education and as an Orange County Commissioner. Bringing these perspectives to the role of mayor, Pam is poised to help our town, county and school governing bodies make progress by working collaboratively to support each other while ensuring that their own interests and goals are represented.
