Please describe your involvement in AAED.
Coreslab Structures has been a sponsor of AAED for the past several years. This has allowed me the opportunity to attend events and participate in the Fall Forum and Spring Conference. I have enjoyed being a part of the planning committee for Spring Conference and I was a speaker last year for the first time for the survey results.
Which committees have you served on?
Spring Conference and State of Economic Development Report Committees.
Why do you want to serve as a member of the AAED Board of Directors?
As a business development professional, I am driven to help organizations and communities grow strategically. Serving on the board would allow me to apply my experience in market analysis, partnership building, and growth strategy to support the organization while also deepening my understanding of the economic development process and growing my connections across the state. I’m excited to contribute a private sector perspective, collaborate with communities, and help to continue to position Arizona for sustainable competitive growth.
