Platform Statement: Part I
1. If elected to this position, what will you attempt to accomplish that will help to meet the strategic goals of the Association?
If elected, I want to lead the Membership Committee through revitalization of its purpose and activities. The committee should focus its attention on a two year time span for new members - the year before becoming a new member (recruitment) and the year after new membership (first year experience). Our goal should be about having each individual member find a personal connection and engagement with NACADA and NACADA members including: 1) Connections / opportunities through technology based communication or information sharing, 2) NACADA Liasion Program, 3) Collaborating with other committees including the Diversity and Leadership Development for promoting a connection and engagement in the first year of membership, and 4) Encouraging NACDA involvement at the regional or a local level.
Platform Statement: Part II
2. Describe an accomplishment on your own campus or within NACADA of which you are proud. What do you believe your accomplishment demonstrates about your abilities as a leader?
In the state of Iowa, I was an founding member and part of the development team of the Iowa Academic Advising Network (IowAAN) - an allied member of NACADA - and have been a part of its leadership team since its original inception in May 2007. Serving in both the development and leadership team role, I have used my organizational and interpersonal skills, as well as planning, vision and attention to detail focus, to move the IowAAN as an established and well recognized organization.
