How long have you been an IAEE member? 14 years
IAEE Chapter: Mid-South
What advice would you give to a new member?
IAEE has a lot to offer – don’t be afraid to approach someone at an event or fellow member online and ask them to be a ‘mentor’ on your journey within the association offerings. There are events, research, CEM classes, online discussion forums, advocacy and so much more. Take advantage of it all!
Fun fact about you – What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
I have an undergraduate degree in military tactics and war strategy. Something that comes in handy in the business world more than most people might realize.
What do you like most about your chapter?
I serve on the Mid-South Chapter board with a dedicated, fantastic group of people that continually look for ways to engage our membership in creative and important ways.
What do you like most about Expo! Expo!?
It’s like a big reunion with all my favorite people all in one place, as well as great education sessions and a packed show floor. What more could you ask for?
How do you use CEIR research, and what reports have you downloaded?
CEIR research is integral to business intelligence and to keep our fingers on the pulse of the industry overall.
