PLATFORM

I can bring the talents I've learned in the corporate environment to the CAA board. I will also strive to be a voice for alumni, friends and fans that, while not presently active in the marching arts, are strong supporters of the activity. I hope to add to the strength of the group and contribute to the bright future of our alumni association and Corps.

INITIATIVES

  • I would like to continue work done to date building a strong database of alumni that can provide mentorship and guidance to current and recently aged-out organization members. No matter the career goals of our active members, they should be able to match to those in the alumni association that have experience to share in their chosen field.

  • I would like to work to increase the communication to alumni of the organization’s current and future plans - with special focus on the resources needed to be successful in those plans. I believe the more transparency the organization provides on the needs for and uses of funds, the more open to giving our alumni may be.

  • I believe that the alumni could increase their outreach to potential marching members - help them to see that being part of The Cavaliers is not just a great experience during their time marching, but will have benefits throughout their life.

VISION FOR CAA

I would like for the Cavalier Alumni Association to strengthen its visibility and show that our organization doesn't only prepare our members for world class performances, but that it supports our members through career mentoring/placement and helps to prepare members to become leaders in their chosen fields.
