Describe in detail why you believe you would be a productive Board member; list your
strengths as well as opportunities for improvement.
I would like to be a board member because I want to be part of the team that continues the work that
makes AHE the organization it is. When you are active in an organization, you learn firsthand how the
decisions are made ad just how committed the leadership is to the membership and is committed to the
members!
A member of this fine organization since 1999, I have 15 years of healthcare and hospitality experience, a
strong work ethic and desire to help make a difference in our chosen field. Making difference these days
requires current information and knowledge. I am an AHA Certified Healthcare Environmental Services
Professional (CHESP). I believe my work experience as being a long term contributing member will
enable me to help AHE continue to grow and prosper.
Please describe how you believe you would contribute to the mission, vision and goals of
AHE as outlined in the strategic plan.
Setting the standard for the environmental excellence is what we do every day and makes us industry
leaders in healthcare environmental services. I am honored to have the opportunity to run for Board
Member. AHE is a strong organization that consists of some of the finest professional resources available
to the profession and they have been developed from within our own ranks.
I believe AHE must remain focused on the core values on which AHE was founded, and that the mission,
vision, and goals should continue to reflect those values. I recognize that AHE must remain flexible in
changing times and that different times may require different strategies, therefore we must willing to
continually review our mission goals and revise them as necessary so we remain relevant to the
profession.
Describe your 5 year vision for AHE. Be specific
I see AHE expanding in size and financial growth. I believe we need to reach out to retirement and long
term care facilities to increase our membership and remain true to the reasons we have changed our
name-relevance. I believe that AHE was formed to serve the membership and as long as we stay focused
on meeting member‘s needs, AHE will continue to prosper. I believe that AHE will continue to grow and
be the organization recognized for the proved education and support to it members and those who
choose to be n our chosen professional field.
