Platform Statement:

If elected, I will coordinate activities of the Finance Committee by

1. electronically disseminating to the Committee all financial information, questions from NACADA members and leaders, issues for consideration and vote in a timely manner;
2. summarizing Committee members' responses to questions and issues and reporting to the Executive Office as requested; and,
3. conducting the annual committee meeting.

I will work with the Executive Office and Board of Directors to ensure that there is thoughtful and thorough consideration of the annual association budget (income and expenses) for the benefit of members and the financial health of the association. The Finance Committee should make sure that members' dues, registration fees, and additional sources of income are spent in accordance with the mission, goals, and bylaws of the association in a fair and equitable manner.
