I'm glad you're here!
My Mission
I have been an APA volunteer for over 12 years with the goal of creating and maintaining the best work life, career and family support APA can give.
Endorsed by both the current and former APA Secretary Treasurer.
As Membership Chairman, I worked closely with the Secretary Treasurer because many of our responsibilities align with each other. After working with both the past and current ST, they both endorse me in this election.
What I would like to change:
- Each committee’s budget would be zero’d out every budget cycle. Current practice is to take last year’s budget and then add what else you think you need. My proposal is for each committee’s budget to start at zero and then build what is needed for the year.
- Let the President set priority on committee budgets. Current practice is to trim from each committee’s ask until the budget is balanced. Having the President set priorities on how the APA funds would be utilized would allow the President the ability to help execute on his/her agenda.
- All election material online. You will soon be receiving a mail out from APA with resumes for the pilots running for National Officers. This information is also available on the Elections page of the APA website and sending physical copies is an unnecessary expense.
The Secretary Treasurer has three major responsibilities: Budget, Records and Elections.
Contrary to popular belief, the ST does not need to be an accountant. There is an entire department inside APA to keep tabs on every dollar APA spends. I once read that “the law is not what is written down, it is what is enforced”. I will abide by the C&B and policy manual to verify that all of your dues money are utilized as effectively and efficiently as possible.
