CANDIDATE’S STATEMENT: The Corps of Cadets is the heart of The Citadel. I fully support the CAA’s purpose for its support, advancement, and promotion and a District Directors’ core responsibility to represent their members’ voices to/ from the CAA and the college administration. CAA meetings are essential, but so is a Director’s active engagement with and between all North Carolina Clubs to hear and discuss Alumni thoughts/concerns, share successful Clubs’ ideas, and grow Cadet recruiting support. Therefore, I commit to an “eyeball-to-eyeball” presence and interaction at NC club activities and meetings to listen, learn, and serve the interests of all North Carolina Alumni.

THIS IS NOT A BALLOT
