I am fortunate to have been a member of Kiwanis for the past 5 years, and previously served as Vice President of our chapter. For me, being a part of Kiwanis is all about the mission we serve – to help underserved children and families in our local community. Taking the strong foundation built by our previous leadership, I look to expand and grow our club so that it can continue its strong history of community service. Having a strong set of members to continue our fundraising and events is crucial, so I am always looking for way to improve on that.

As President-Elect/Vice President my main role is to prepare for the role of president and preside over club meetings and activities in the president’s absence. I joined Kiwanis nine years ago as a way to volunteer and give back to underserved children and their families in the community. Over the years I’ve been inspired by our dedicated members and valued partners in the community who generously give their time, talent, and resources to support the club and our mission.

As Treasurer I am responsible for all financial activity and reporting of the Kiwanis Club.  I joined Kiwanis because I want to give back to my community. Supporting less fortunate children and families in the area is a great way to give back. My participation in Kiwanis is a very rewarding experience.

As Secretary, my primary responsibilities are to 1) document, finalize, and distribute our club's meeting minutes, and 2) keep current our membership roster with Kiwanis International. Being a member of Kiwanis I feel I am making a difference for families in our community. Participating in key activities and projects directly benefits many individuals and local organizations. Public service is transformative and makes life more meaningful and fulfilling.
