The success of each region in ASSP is comprised of the success of each of its leaders. Being a resource to the Region VI Regional Vice President, the Assistant Regional Vice Presidents, and Chapter Leaders is paramount. By listening about and addressing roadblocks within the region, I would strive to continue to grow Region VI Southern Area to best support its members and the mission of ASSP as a society. My vision is be a catalyst between the Southern Area chapters and their success to further the mission and vision of ASSP.
