As APPA’s Vice President for Professional Affairs, I have had the honor to spend two terms in office and represent the membership on the APPA Board of Directors. The experience has been invaluable to me;
it has allowed me a seat at the table for those critical decisions that make APPA a better organization for its institutions and individual members. This experience has changed the way I respond to issues that matter to members and the different types of educational institutions that APPA serves (K-12, community colleges, private and public institutions, small and large schools, historically black colleges and universities, museums, the milita.

As I reflect on my APPA journey, I think how it has influenced and shaped me into a much better person. Getting involved in APPA at the local, state, regional, or international level is one of the best things I have done. It has certainly been the most rewarding. I hope in a small way that my journey encourages you to find your own journey, and a way to give back to your profession.
