Goals for Office: 1. To bring awareness to Region 5 about TASN membership/participation. Our region has several new faces in child nutrition, and I want to be an advocate for TASN to help encourage membership and participation. My team and I enjoy the TASN Annual Conference and being able to network with others. I want to share that excitement and feedback with others.
2. To be a liaison between TASN and Area 4 members. I want to be the voice for area members and be able to communicate their needs/concerns to TASN as well as communicate the need/concerns of TASN. Communication is important when building membership. I'd like to assist with the communication flow between the members and the association.
