John F. Kennedy once said, “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” I am pleased to declare my candidacy for a second term on the NCBC Board because I am committed to the NCBC’s mission of providing education, leadership, advocacy and solutions for its members. I joined the National Conference of Bankruptcy Clerks in 2005, and have remained a contributing member ever since. Currently, I serve as the Chairman of the NCBC Education Committee, charged with the development of conference education. My collaborative approach with committee members and fellow Board members has resulted in outstanding education programs at conferences in New Orleans (2011), San Francisco (2012), and Washington D. C. (2016). I am certain that my efforts will produce the same high quality programs for the 2017 Conference in Denver and those subsequent to Denver if I am re-elected.
Though professional development has been my primary focus, my well rounded background allows me to continually contribute in multiple areas of the organization. I have served as a Membership Committee Chairman, Circuit Liaison, and Scholarship Committee member. Additionally, I have held progressively responsible court leadership positions, such as Supervisor, Deputy Clerk in Charge, Chief Deputy Clerk, and Clerk of Court. I also volunteer as a faculty coach for the Federal Judicial Center’s New Supervisor Development Program. I am respectfully asking for your vote, and I welcome an opportunity to continue meeting your professional needs.
