Candidate Statement
For the past 6 years, I have had the opportunity to serve the Home Heath Academy as the Program Chair.  This has given me a great opportunity to understand how the Executive Committee and the section leadership work, as well as allowing me to get to know section membership.  As Program Chair, I worked with budgets and deadlines and I have served as treasurer for a smaller volunteer organization and enjoyed that work.  I feel this experience as has put me in a position to be able to successfully step into the role as Treasurer.  Being an active member of the Home Health Academy is important to me and this position would enable me to continue to support and represent the membership.
