My fellow IAFC friends and colleagues, I humbly request your support and VOTE for Treasurer of the IAFC in 2025. As the immediate past president of the Missouri Valley Division of the IAFC, I understand the importance of remaining fiscally healthy and strong in order to advocate for our membership, staying on the forefront of technological advances, and maintaining essential programs that protect, engage and support.
I am running on a fiscal first competency platform that embraces transparency and accountability, which aligns with the IAFC Strategic Plan.
My philosophy is simple: โdo the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.โ
I back this pledge with my proven integrity and experience along with my current attributes and past accomplishments:
- A strong financial background (B.A. in Finance and Business Administration)
- Experience as the Treasurer of the Greater St. Louis Area Fire Chiefs Association for the past five years
- Past President of the MVD-IAFC with many quantifiable accomplishments for the benefit of both the division and all IAFC members
- Fire service advocate (author, involved board member, focused on health & wellness-safety first advocacy, leadership development and mentorship)
I would like to sincerely thank you for your trust, support, and consideration for this critical role within the IAFC.
There is still time left to get your vote in!ย Voting ends June 10
