Platform Statement:

• Highlight your involvement in this unit that will help you in leading this unit. What roles have you played in this unit thus far? 

I have not participated in this Commission thus far.  For more than two decades, however, I have administered advising programs.  As an advisor and advising administrator, I am fully aware of the significance of advising in the lives of students, faculty, staff and alumni.  As we move into the 21st century where globalization is and will continue to be a central focus of international higher education, my central focus will be to help NACADA help advisors prepare for our current world and our world to come.

• What do you believe are the most important goals and initiatives for this unit in meeting the strategic plan for both the unit and the Association?

To help NACADA prepare advisors for the academic and social challenges of an ever globalizing world community.

• Why are you interested in serving in this leadership position or what influenced you to run for this leadership position?  

Advising is centrally important to the lives of our students.  This Commission can help advisors, students, alumni and families better prepare for a vastly new and different 21st century.

• Provide any additional comments or information regarding your past experiences and qualifications that relate to your candidacy for this leadership position. 

Since 1975 my advising experience has embraced every aspect of the college and university advising experience.  My understanding of academic advising is comprehensive.  My experiences includes the theoretical, conceptual and the pragmatic.  What is more, in a world firmly rooted in a global economy, by experience includes diversity, multiculturalism and pluralism.  For the aforementioned reasons and many others, I firmly believe my experience and qualifications relate to my candidacy for this leadership position.
