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

I believe one of the most important skills I bring is, I like to get involved. I believe this is one of the key elements in helping an organization grow and be successful; is to be involved. I want to support the AICP goals and objectives at the Chapter level to help the association overall.

What would be your goals for office if you are elected? 

I would like to help promote more involvement for Western Chapter members. I also would like to support more outreach to the members, whether by email blasts and/or support more virtual meetings (due to logistics). I also believe getting us back to in-person E-Days is important and would like to help facilitate that. I would like to enhance the connection with the California CDI.

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? 

I believe outreaching is the key, especially to new members to ensure they get the greatest benefit from AICP. Support more networking and help promote AICP goals of engaging our members and exchanging ideas.

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

More member involvement, help promote more communication on a chapter level, therefore bringing it to the national level. I would like to see more attendees at events and I would like to help the Western Chapter grow.

Additional Comments

I believe I would be a valuable board member for the Western Chapter and support the AICP goals.
