What skills do you bring to the office? What qualifications make you a viable candidate for the office? 

I stepped in as Regional Director in December and currently represent the MidAtlantic Chapter. My years of experience as an AICP chapter officer and my professional experience with regulators, and compliance professionals in both the P&C and L&H sectors have prepared me to step into a larger role with AICP leadership as an RD. I have long term relationships with both national and chapter leaders and will provide spirited representation for the MidAtlantic Chapter.
What would be your goals for office if you are elected? 

My goals are to represent my chapter and to ensure the chapters have adequate funding and resources to provide in-person and virtual events and education opportunities for their members, and to assist AICP national board to develop and enhance policies and educational opportunities to grow and retain membership.

If elected, how would you use your office to work with others in the AICP to pursue the AICP’s current goals and objectives, to meet member needs, and to enhance the AICP’s value in our insurance compliance community? 

The Regional Directors work together to establish policies and procedures for the administration of chapter business, and educational events. I will participate on the Outreach Committee and other committees to improve AICP operations both nationally and at the chapter level.

Where would you like to see the AICP in the future and what would you do to move the AICP toward the vision?  

I would like to see AICP focus on more health insurance compliance topics, attract more health regulators to provide webinars and attend events. T think adding educational events and speakers will attract new membership and provide a valued service to our AICP community.

Additional Comments

I value my membership with AICP. AICP has provided me with industry and compliance information that has helped me grow in my career as a compliance professional. I have developed relationships with regulators and industry peers that I value very much. I encourage our membership to get involved in committees and to participate as board members in the MidAtlantic Chapter. The last two years have been difficult, but as we move back to in person and virtual events we need new people and new ideas to keep our chapter strong.
