Platform

After being on the board for the past 4 years, and President for the past 2, we've increased Alumni outreach and executed on a number of projects including an Alumni Member Handbook, assisting in the org's fundraising needs, hosting town hall discussions, and facilitating alumni outreach around DCI shows and Chapter meetings. All that being said - there is a lot more work to do and I'm passionate about helping things move forward.

Initiatives

  • Increase Alumni Engagement

  • (Post-Covid) Chapter Meetings

  • Bridging the gap between Current Marching Members & Alumni

Vision

My vision is that the CAA will continue to be the best alumni association in the activity and serve as an example for other organizations. I've done a lot of work with the Current Marching Members to embrace their history and alumni, and I think moving forward the marching members need to feel the same love and respect from their alumni. By doing this - we'll not only enrich the experience of current marching members, but also become a more cohesive body of alumni.
