CAA News Today

Thank you for considering my candidacy for the CAA Board of Directors. Over the years I have engaged in many aspects of the organization from conference participation as a presenter and co-chair of sessions, to committee membership. I currently serve as an Emerging Director and annual conference committee member. As a tenured community college educator and an individual whose academic background includes graduate degrees in art practice, art history, and the philosophy of aesthetics I embody the academic diversity of CAA membership. My service to the organization has been focused on ensuring that CAA continues to reflect the founding core commitment of advancing knowledge and solidarity with our arts communities, but also reflects contemporary global shifts within the interests and increased intersecting disciplines of the membership.

As a membership driven organization I actively maintain that each of us are part of the dynamic ways in which CAA moves forward into the future. I am keen to actively use placement on the Board to continue my work growing the academic, career, and ethnic diversity of membership, and leadership through strategic outreach and recruitment. During my tenure as Emerging Director I effectively worked as a liaison for the Education and Student and Emerging Professionals committees to represent the interest of members within the development of strategic planning and goals of CAA. I believe that my past professional experience in project management and recruitment, my current career in arts education, as well as my sustained commitment and passion for CAA makes me a strong candidate to continue to serve our diverse membership interests on the Board.
