Region 7 Governor Official Nominee
Vision statement
I am submitting my candidacy for Region 7 Governor to provide an opportunity for potential constituents and myself to have a larger voice. As a Governor I envision my role being a communication pipeline between Branches and Sections to the broader Region 7 and Society as a whole. This will involve open communication with Branches and Sections as well as the Board of Governors to ensure all voices are being heard to benefit Region 7. As a Governor I will implement lessons learned and successes from my experience at a Branch level, as well as those I hear from other Branch and Section leaders while Governor, to increase the effectiveness of Region 7. By being united as a Region and as a Society I feel we can increase the impact of our profession on a national level. This begins with engaging children and young adults all the way to elected officials and educating them on the necessity and benefits civil engineers provide our country.
