PLATFORM STATEMENT
Since becoming a member of ASSE, most recognize that they receive much more than they can repay to the Society. In addition to gaining valuable resources that benefit our chosen professions, we also gain many great friendships as a result of our involvement. I’ve come to realize that this gift does not stop at the Chapter level. To this end, I would be honored to serve as your Louisiana Area Director.
As I did during my tenure serving on all 7 Chairs of the Executive Board of the Greater Baton Rouge Chapter, I will continue advocating your interests and concerns to the Region IV Regional Operating Committee while working diligently with all Louisiana Chapters to assure that the interests of our Chapters are best served.
Under my leadership you can expect ongoing oversight and communication between chapters. I am willing and able to do whatever is necessary to assist Louisiana Chapters whenever possible.
