A lot has changed since I last presented myself for consideration as your at-large director. NACUFS is in the midst of an executive director search, the first in more than 20 years. With economic uncertainty, budgets are tighter than ever affecting every campus. Through all this one thing has not changed—my commitment to the members of NACUFS. I am truly humbled and honored to be nominated for the responsibility of your at-large director. The position of at-large director for NACUFS primarily serves as the liaison for the strategic planning committee to the board of directors and works with that committee to evaluate how new initiatives and policy proposals relate to that plan. Additionally, the at-large director serves on your board of directors, the executive and finance committees, and chairs the nominations committee for national office. Starting this fall, the strategic planning process once again enters into preparation for a new five-year cycle. The beginnings of this cycle are founded in the needs assessment survey, which was emailed to all members in February and available at all regional conferences this spring. Your input into this process is invaluable and needed for the future planning within NACUFS. Little did I expect over 40 years ago when I entered the labor market that the work I love would lead me as it has. I would never have imagined being so involved in the workings of a national association or caring so much about the association’s future and its individual members. NACUFS has been a great support to my work and ministry. I continue to learn and grow with every opportunity which is presented. I promise to make sure I do everything possible to maintain and increase those opportunities and that there is support for every member in the future. My family, administration and staff support my candidacy and I trust you will also.
