2018 Distinguished Service Outside the Profession
Alexis Quintana
For the past several years Lexi has passionately volunteered her time as Treasurer for CAEA. Lexi’s role far exceeds the duty of promoting financial stability and success for our organization. Lexi has a problem solver attitude and is a forward thinker. It is her expertise that has moved CAEA forward in our financial fortitude, although she might emphasize a “team effort”. This is also one of her best attributes. She is a team player and wants what is best for CAEA. Lexi has single handedly restructured the CAEA financial system in a way that is more comprehensible to the “artist mindset”. She has brought much of our financials into an understandable format that has helped the Executive Council increase their ability to make proper, responsible decisions that will elevate the impact of what CAEA can do for education. Mike Carroll points out, “Like many Executive Council members, and those dedicated CAEA members, she has volunteered many hours, over several years, at our conferences in Breckenridge and Executive Council meetings and on her own time. She believes in what we do, and she actively participates to better our association even though she is not an Art Teacher.” Most of us see Lexi as a young woman with a bubbly personality and a huge smile who is always willing and happy to help with registration but Lexi’s impact on our organization does not stop there. Lexi is an ultra professional who loves to remind us that she is not an artist, but if it were not for her passion and creativity behind the scenes, CAEA would not be as financially sound as we are. Lexi has spent countless hours combing through our financial records, organizing our books and making sure that all transactions including those at our conference are processed and our accounts are up-to-date and accurate. DJ Osmack comments, “Lexi’s enthusiasm and dedication to CAEA is boundless. I am honored to call Lexi a colleague and friend. Her contributions are an integral part of our organization. Her desire to constantly evolve and improve our financial stability demonstrates her extraordinary leadership and innate desire to further the profession.” Congratulations, Alexis Quintana 2018 Distinguished Service Outside the Profession
