I am excited to join the board for several reasons! The community has been good to me both professionally and personally and this is a way to give back some of my time and experience to a great organization in the area. I greatly enjoy strategic planning and hope to offer my own experience as a value. It is also my hope to continue developing professionally by learning from the collective board members throughout the experiences that we will undoubtedly share.
