Short statement on why you want to serve in this office:
Being able to serve as President Elect is one of my professional interests. It will allow me to exhibit my leadership abilities with the enhancement of my fellow Association members. Also, it will allow me to continue my great interest in NCCE through the venue of the North Carolina Association of Extension 4-H Agents on the state and national levels. One of my goals is to continue the rich history of NCAE4-HA and to welcome new ideas from tenured and new 4-H Professionals. I am a true believer of professional growth with all 4-H professionals.
