I have served for three years as Director of Undergraduate Programs in the College of Business Administration at the University of Tennessee. During this time I spearheaded a transition from a split advising delivery system to a professional model. This transformation included a transition from open enrollment to managed enrollment, the acquisition of new staff, and a redefinition of our faculty advisors roles. During this reorganization I have regularly leveraged the experiences of my NACADA colleagues in my thought, planning and organizational processes. Through national and regional conferences, Administrators' Institutes and list serves, I have gleaned the wisdom, ideas, and approaches from many. In short, any success I know is the direct result our collective knowledge.

If given the privilege of leading the Advising Business Majors Commission, I will dedicate myself to working for our members to ensure they have every opportunity to benefit from our shared wisdom and vision. Providing our members with a shared knowledge base to aid them in their work, research, teaching, and advising is critical our professional development. I consider it an honor to be nominated and welcome the opportunity to serve the organization that has meant been so instrumental shaping me as a professional.
