Unit 13

Why are you running for office?

It is an honor and privilege to represent my union siblings. I want to use my experience as a four-term state board director to serve our members to the best of my ability.

What are your goals?

Members must feel their dues bring them value. I strive to educate members on what programs and services are available to them and how HGEA fights for them. I also seek to increase membership and members’ active involvement. Our strength is in our numbers and our unity.
