Candidates
…my personal platform for board service centers around strategic vision, inclusive leadership, and ethical standards. By leveraging these principles, I intend to contribute to CMAA's success, foster innovation, and create a lasting positive impact for all involved.
… the words chosen [for this year’s Annual Theme] were Engage, Enrich, Unite. I am eager to use this three-word directive to help CMAA continue to thrive as the gold standard of professionalism, education, and leadership.
Just as our industry has changed in recent years, it is important that CMAA continues to evolve for the association to remain valuable and relevant to its membership. I look forward to being a part of, and adding value to, the continued growth of the Association.
I promise to continue to provide an example of what is possible. To be a prideful, but humble motivator. I will uphold the standards set before us but ask the questions that will lead to progress.
