I am submitting this Statement of Intent to request your consideration for a reappointment to the 2026-2027 DMS Board Of Directors.
Why me?
I believe that a Board of Directors Member needs to:
have had some business acclimatization - DMS is a $1M+ per year business, with no employees. I am a Management Consultant by day and have considerable experience with governance, marketing, operations, finance, etc. within a wide range of businesses.
have had exposure to the inter-workings of DMS' administration. I have been an active participant within numerous DMS Committees, 2024-2025 DMS Secretary, 2025-2026 Board of Directors, and 2025-2026 Vice President of Internal Affairs. These activities and roles have given me considerable exposure.
focus on what's best for DMS-wide/as a whole, not just a committee, group of members, or oneself. I think my actions have shown a DMS view.
be around - an absentee Board of Directors Member does no one any good. My family jokes that I am at DMS too much. :)
To conclude, my 2025-2026 goals my myself and hopefully my fellow Board Members include:
Volunteers
Teachers, including honorarium adjustments, as needed
Tour Guides
Getting Phase II done. I am so tired of talking about it
If you want to talk about "How?," come to the Meet the Candidates Event on Tuesday March 31, 2026 at 7:00 PM in the North Lobby. I love talking about DMS,
In addition, if you have questions/suggestions/etc. beyond what would be covered in a Meet The Candidates Event, reach out of Talk or Discord, catch me in the halls, catch me in a committee meeting, let's talk about what is on your mind
