Platform Statement:

I believe that the professional development opportunities that NACADA offers can make the difference in an advisor's career today and in the future as they grow in the college and university environment. NACADA as an organization has been responsible for grooming many leaders in our institutions.

NACADA is the type of organization that I believe in, and I would like to be a part of creating as many professional development opportunities for our colleagues as possible. This can be as simple as helping an advisor to find a solution to a problem in their day to day job, to providing opportunities at our conferences that support individuals on a path becoming leaders on their campuses.

I am the type of leader that works with others to identify areas for change and growth, and then creates a team to make things happen. The position of Region 10 chair has a history of good leaders. I will work hard to maintain that record.
