I have clearly demonstrated the ability to manage client relationships effectively while balancing deadlines and budgets.  In the past 7 years being a part of the CAA, I have been a great advocate supporting or recommending causes and policies to not only better the CAA, but also on a national level.  I believe in the success and the growth of the CAA, and I have shown that over the past seven years that I have been a member while actively engaging in several committees (Charleston CARES, Communications, Education, NextGen, Suppliers Council, and Membership) in the CAA as well as serving on the SCAA Suppliers Council committee.
