To whom it may concern:

I am writing to express my full support for Maresa Thompson as a candidate for the District 12 Board of Directors.

I have known Maresa throughout her involvement and leadership with AAF Albuquerque and see her as completely committed to the AAF and to the individual clubs. She has tackled projects as varied as the ADDYS and NSAC with high energy and tenacity. As president, she dealt with a challenging financial situation in her own local club and brought them back from a potentially devastating scenario into a returned position of strength and leadership. She is willing to make tough calls and do whatever work it takes to get the job done. In addition, Maresa’s extensive tourism experience has been a boon to both District 12 and to the Albuquerque club in negotiating the best rates and terms possible for events requiring hotel rooms. Maresa is a huge asset to our organization.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want further information on Maresa’s leadership skills.

Sincerely,

Karole L. CampbellSenior Account Executive – Comcast Spotlight Secretary-Treasurer – Western Region AAF Board
