Platform Statement:

As a faculty advisor for the past 20 years, and coordinator of faculty advising for the past two, I fully understand and appreciate the role of faculty advisors. I know that NACADA has a lot to offer this group; it is my goal to make faculty aware of these resources. To this end, I will encourage attendance and active participation by faculty in state, regional, and national conferences. I will strive to establish a learning community atmosphere at conferences so that we have more time together to discuss, collaborate, and learn from each other. Working with a steering committee, I will reach out to faculty to find out what NACADA can do for them and then strive to put it in motion. I will work diligently to assure that the faculty training program initiated by the Faculty Advising Task Force is carried to fruition. We are a commission with a vast knowledge and experience base; I will encourage sharing of this knowledge via our list serve, newsletter, and web page.

As a member of the original task force and an active member of this commission since its inception, I am dedicated to meeting the needs of faculty advisors and hope to do so as chair of this commission.
