What is your board position and a brief description of what you do for CCAM? I am 2nd VP Projects which means I have oversight for all the fund-raising projects – Boutique, Ornaments, Pecans, Poinsettias, Golf Tournament, Raffle and Rewards. I have a great group of ladies who chair these activities and make my job easy. When I joined Aggie Mom’s in 2018, I got involved by volunteering for every committee I could. Our fundraising is for a great cause – our students and their organizations! I chaired Poinsettias for 2 years prior to accepting the nomination for VP Projects.

My colleagues even recorded “Happy Birthday” for my daughters when they found out I was missing their birthday.
