Endorsement Letter: For McElveen

Posted on October 29, 2009 by Staff

As a lifelong resident of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community, a proud graduate of Chapel Hill High School and a parent of two sons who received an excellent education in this school district, it is important to me that education remains a priority here. And because education is the “great leveler” in providing opportunity to every child, it becomes increasingly important that dedicated and committed individuals are charged with its governance. For this reason, I support Gregory McElveen for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro board of education.

I have known Greg for about 10 years. During this time, I have had the opportunity and pleasure of working with him in our church and community. I have been particularly impressed with how he works with the youth at our church and his desire to see that all of our youth are successful. Greg has been a Blue Ribbon Mentor Advocate with the district since 2005, giving his personal time and talent to help enrich a young person’s life. Since his appointment to the school board last year, he has hit the ground running to ensure equal opportunity and access for every child.

Greg is level-headed and a consensus builder. He is respectful, selfless, a good listener, has good judgment and will be able to discern how best to serve the district’s constituents. His experience in marketing research and his problem-solving experience are additional assets for consideration. For these reasons, I urge you to keep Greg McElveen on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro board of education.
