Platform Statement:

I have been active in NACADA for eleven years now, participating in the Adult Learners Commission and serving as its chair for two years. During the past two years, I have served on the Commission and Interest Group Division Steering Committee, consulting with five different commissions and interest groups and helping their chairs to do their jobs better. Therefore, I feel ready to take on the role of the Commission and Interest Group Division Representative, to head up the CIG Division, to serve on the NACADA Council, and to work with all the commissions and interest groups. I understand the role of the commissions and interest groups to engage NACADA members with their most vital interests and to provide a way for them to get involved and to become active within the larger organization. I plan to serve the NACADA members by making the commissions and interest groups stronger and more responsive to the needs of the members.
