I have been actively involved in NACADA for 13 years and am currently serving on the Board of Directors for a two-year term.  A supporter of the reorganized Board structure, I am convinced this new format will produce many positive changes for our membership.  This structure has already led to active discussion and engaged conversation about a variety of topics that will be addressed by the Board. The Vice President position represents the heart and soul of our membership. This is crucial to the workings of NACADA.  As a former Regional Representative and former Chair of the Awards and Scholarships Committee, I feel confident I can offer guidance when needed.  Assuredly, I will convey the NACADA Council's interests and concerns to the Board of Directors.  In addition, I worked with Commissions as Chair of the Awards and Scholarship Committee. Attracting new members to NACADA while providing quality services for current members is one of my main goals.  I am most interested in promoting leadership opportunities for our members.  Additionally, I think we must continue to promote visibility of advising on our individual campuses.  I am very honored to be nominated for this position.
