My first run for the position of Secretary-Treasurer,albeit unsuccessful, was not without merit. What I

learned was if I really want to represent YOU and help leadCMAA strategically, that I would need to work harder toearn your trust and share with you the principles thatdirectly inf luence my thinking.Throughout my tenure as a chapter leader and as a

national director, my ideology has not changed. I believethese ideals are vital for moving forward strategically, andare assets and opportunities that are inherent to CMAA.Membership – We must continually strive to maintain

the high standard of professional development, while gen-erating services that will empower every member at everylevel, to transcend themselves and their staff to be betterprofessionals.

Candidate for: DirectorCommittees. Working closely on these committees withour dedicated staff and club managers from all over thecountry has been an enriching experience – one thathas deepened my understanding of our membership’sneeds and elevated my (already high) appreciation forour outstanding National Staff.Club managers today face many unique challenges,

stemming in part from an economy that few of us haveexperienced in our lifetimes. Resulting market condi-tions have created what many now refer to as, “a newreality”: declining demand for club memberships andan escalating demand – an outcry, really – for value.And while these challenges may be unique; so too arethe resources that CMAA members have to addressthem.I am fully committed to staying attuned to the chang-

ing needs of our membership and will continue to workdiligently with fellow Board members and staff to eval-uate CMAA’s programs and services, ensure their rele-vance and enhance their value.As it has been for the last three years, it would again

be my genuine privilege to represent you on CMAA’sNational Board. I am grateful for your continued sup-port and I look forward to serving you in the future.

Thank you for electing me to CMAA’s Board ofDirectors in 2007. I am honored to have served you

in such a capacity over the last three years, and I amseeking your support for my second term on theNational Board.I have a great passion for CMAA, as well as a high

sense of gratitude for what this organization has donefor me both personally and professionally.

Candidate for: Directorthanks to the opportunities offered by CMAA that my ini-tial stumble into the world of private clubs was trans-formed into a wonderful new life. It has been great to beable to give back by serving my chapters and participatingon national committees. It is such an honor to currentlyserve as a national director and to work with a dynamicgroup of peers and the extraordinary staff at our nationalheadquarters. This experience has intensified my resolveto serve my Association and its membership and continueto contribute in every way I possibly can.This year, Shelly and I will celebrate our tenth wedding

anniversary and count our many blessings – especially ourthree children. That said, life balance is the toughest thingin a profession that places so many demands on our lives.In all honesty, I haven’t come close to finding the perfectbalance in my life, I haven’t found a magical formula to fixall the bumps in the road, but I’m still trying, still listeningand thanks to CMAA: still learning.I respectfully ask you to support my continued service

as a national director. Our association is strong because ofits remarkable membership. I promise to always keep lis-tening and keep learning from you because, after all, weare all the leaders we have been waiting for.

In extraordinary times, status quo has become a thing ofthe past as we turn ourselves upside down to face thechallenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world -even clubs established more than 100 years ago are findingthe need to evolve at a rapid pace that, until recently,would have seemed unimaginable. Now is the time to lookbeyond our personal stake and include the very future ofprivate clubs and the club management profession in ourthinking.
