It has been very fulfilling to observe change for the better in communications, culture, processes, implementation, and accountability. I am living in my purpose.
4. Where do you see your organization in 10 years? What are your plans for the future?
In 10 years, I want to have supported 200 plus businesses in Acadian to run like a well-oiled machine internally prompting productivity, growth, and sustainability.

5. 1A is making an impact as we take an active role in improving the community we live in. Our members are making an impact, too! – What does impact mean to you? How is your company making an impact?
Impact to me means organizational health and foundational sturdiness that lasts. My company is making an impact by shoring up businesses to be effective, efficient, and weather any storm so that entrepreneurs continue to open and sustain viable and important businesses. This is the American dream at its best and so important to our country.
