Statement of Candidacy
It is with great honor and humility that I accept the nomination for SASFAA President Elect. I am dedicated to fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of this position. I believe my background and experiences have prepared me to take on this role. I have held many leadership positions in state, regional and national associations and seek to bring these experiences to the SASFAA President Elect role. It is often said that SASFAA is a family and that is the case. We support each other and guide each other through the ever-changing landscape of rules and regulations that is the hallmark of what we do. If given the opportunity to lead this family, I will not take that responsibility lightly. I pledge my commitment to lead with honor, thoughtfulness, and unwavering support for all members of this family. I am a strong advocate for training and professional development, my record speaks for itself. I am dedicated to SASFAA and its members; I am enthusiastic about our growth as an organization. I value every opportunity that comes my way, especially ones that allow me to make an impact on students’ lives. I have always worked in the education field where teaching/training/mentoring has been my passion. I welcome the opportunity to share this passion with the financial aid community in the SASFAA region. I gratefully accept this nomination and seek your support to fulfill SASFAA’s Mission: “provide an avenue for a support and resource network; offers professional training opportunities that enable and enhance the ethical and effective delivery of educational resources to students; seeks to cultivate personal and professional leadership development; advocates for public policies that support financial aid programs; and, commits to the recognition of the diverse needs in our profession and all of the constituents we serve”. |
