	Platform Statement: Highlight your previous involvement within this unit that will help you in leading this unit.  What roles have you played within this particular unit as a member thus far?

I have been involved with the Region 10 Steering Committee by researching the current membership institutions and following up with information to the committee concerning state institutions with little or no NACADA membership. I have served as a member of the May 07 regional conference proposal review committee, hospitality committee, and registration worker.

What do you believe are the most important goals and initiatives for this unit in meeting the strategic plan for both the unit and the Association? 

Increasing the membership within the Region is an important goal that will further the strategic plan of the organization. To increase the membership, it is important to demonstrate the core values in our daily work. Serving as a role model will encourage others to join NACADA and benefit from one's membership.

Why are you interested in serving in this leadership position or what influenced you to run for this leadership position? 

My interest in running for Chair of Region 10 is a manifestation of my desire to be of service to the advisors of the region and the national organization in a broader way. Additionally, I hope to continue to develop professionally within NACADA.

Provide any additional comments or information (either personal or leadership-related) that you want potential voters to know about you that is not covered elsewhere in your platform information. 

I have been involved in community service organizations for many years and have served in leadership positions. I understand the time and energy commitments and am willing to put forth the required efforts to achieve the desired results. I have been a professional academic advisor since 1990 and continually find the work and the people doing the work to be a source of inspiration. We may not get the spotlight, but we certainly make daily impacts on the lives of our students and our institutions. We can work together to increase the status of our work and I'd like to help with that.
