The City Clerk’s Office Presents the Monthly Board Member Spotlight:

Jessica Major,  Board of Adjustment

Why would you encourage someone in the community to apply to be on a board, committee, or commission? 

I would
encourage someone to apply to be on a board, committee, or commission becauseit is a great way to give back to your community. It is also a great way to
meet other members of the community.

What do you enjoy most about serving on your particular board?

I enjoy serving on the Board of Adjustment because Durham is rapidlychanging and it is important to make sure that the changes that
are occurring are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan thatour leaders put in place to support the growth of Durham.

What  is your favorite part about living in Durham?

I have too many favorites about Durham to narrow it down to just one, so
I’m going to cheat and name a few. I love Durham’s diversity, as well as all ofthe opportunities that it provides to its residences. I love all of the options
for going out including DPAC and the Durham Bulls. And I lovehow it’s only a short drive to the beach.
