Why should someone become a NACMA member?
As American Express used to say, "Membership has its privileges."In the case of NACMA, those privileges can be summarized by four words – learning, growth, network and friendships.
 
What has NACMA meant to you?
NACMA has been a cornerstone within my life because of the impact it's had on my career and for the many lifelong friendships that I've forged over the years.
 
What impact did your time as NACMA President have on you as a professional?
Serving as a NACMA President allowed me to learn from some of the absolute best athletics administrators in the business…ideas, advice, etc. that I'll carry with me forever.
 
What is your fondest memory of serving as NACMA President?
I'll never forget walking into the opening session at Convention, making my welcome speech, looking out and seeing both my NACMA team and my campus team there in support.
 
How do you see NACMA progressing in the next five years? Next ten years?
I've always viewed marketers as the hub in a bicycle wheel, so I think NACMA will continue to find ways it can provide members with vital tools in which they can provide constant support to other units that prove vital to the mission of their university and athletics department.
