Hello SCAEOP family! I am so excited about this opportunity to lead the South Carolina Association of Educational Office Professionals as the 42nd President. I understand the power of words so I was prayerful and mindful of what I wanted to see happen for the association. My theme, “Purposed by Design: Cultivate. Innovate. Excel.,” simply means it is my objective, my intention, my resolve, as a result of a plan, wise counsel and TEAMwork to accomplish the following:

• Cultivate (to acquire or develop a quality, sentiment, or skill, to apply oneself to improving or developing one's mind or manners)

  • ​Changing/Creating a Culture of Excellence (Chic Fil A Customer Service) - We are Directors of First Impression

  • Bridging the Gap: Old School vs New School (Mentoring Matters)

  • More Professional and Leadership Development opportunities

  • Growing and establishing affiliates

  • Standard presentation for membership recruitment

• Innovate (to introduce changes and new ideas in the way something is done or made)

  • ​Creating Systems (to allow transitions between Boards to be easier)

  • SCAEOP website (updated and user friendly)

  • Social Media presence to increase visibility

  • Mid Year Conference

  • Annual Conference (tiered professional development opportunities)

• Excel (be exceptionally good at or proficient in an activity or subject, to go or be beyond a stated or implied limit, measure, or degree)

  • ​More membership recognition and celebrations

  • Increased overall association membership (renewal dates and reminders)

  • Communication streamlined

  • Endorsements and Sponsorships

  • Next Year’s Conference: Early Bird - Regular Registrations- Deadlines; Hotel (Register for conference first, then book hotel)

​

​With much love,
