My role at AIDN-WA is a volunteer position in support of this key industry Not-For-Profit Association. In my time with AIDN-WA some notable achievements include establishing harmony and alignment in a once fractured advocacy space, enhancing governance structures, improving Board dynamics for a more collaborate non-executive branch, driving membership to record levels. This is attributable to the effort of predecessors and colleagues, as well as to myself.
