Elected Region 4 Governor
Vision statement
As a Region 4 Governor candidate, my focus is to improve the communication between our local membership, student chapters, and Society. There are many wonderful things that our members do, but we need to be better at recognizing and sharing our successes and improving on our weaknesses so that we can all learn from each other.
As a Practitioner Advisor for over a decade, I have seen how continued involvement and encouragement with students is how we grow our profession and our membership, not only in quantity but in quality. It is vital that we provide the foundation and support throughout their journey because they truly are the future of our organization.
My goal during my time as governor would be to engage with student chapters and younger member groups within the Region to make sure they feel supported and know the important part they play in our Society. I believe that engagement with Students and Younger Members will help retain them as members and allow them to grow their networks.
Finally, our Life Members are invaluable and have a wealth of knowledge and I want to better reach those members to ensure we are continuing to advance our profession.
