Statement of Interest
I am excited to be considered as a candidate for NCURA’s Region VI Chair. I have been a member of NCURA since 1998 and have actively volunteered since 2006. Being a member of Region VI has given me the opportunity to give back the wealth of resources and information that NCURA has given me throughout the years. Being elected as Chair of the region will enable me to say thank you and represent the next generation of Region VI. I am constantly amazed and appreciative by the level of professionalism and educational opportunities that Region VI provides to its membership, and I feel that I am ready to provide leadership to the dynamic group of people who are members of this region. If I am successfully elected to the position, I feel my positive attitude, level of professionalism, and organizational ability will assist me greatly in this leadership role.
I believe that our Region is exceptional because of the diversity of the membership. I believe wholeheartedly in the objectives that Region VI fulfills; providing leadership, professional mentoring, networking and educational opportunities to all of our members.
I am proud to belong to Region VI, and I hope I will have the honor and opportunity to represent Region VI as its Chair. I look forward to coming together, sharing together, working together and succeeding together to make the region as prosperous as possible.
