Platform Statement:

As budget cuts and other negative forces continue to threaten higher education, professional development of NACADA members becomes more challenging. We are all forced to demonstrate more creativity to maintain our standards in the field.

It would be my intention, as Chair of the Professional Development Committee, to strengthen the foundation of what so many good people have worked so hard to establish over the years. But I would challenge us to reach higher and think more creatively to guide others in their professional development journeys. The theme of "doing more with less" does not mean sacrificing quality, so we'll look for ways to keep quality professional development a high priority among our membership.
