I live in and love

New MexicoI’d be honored to represent New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment, on the D12 Executive Board as the only states currently represented are Arizona and Colorado.

D12 is composed of NM, AZ, CO, UT, TX

I have 15+ years of meeting planning experience

I know how to negotiate great deals from hotels (Once got a $22/person inclusive ADDYs dinner)

I already have experience helping organize and host

AAF D12 events:★ Western Region Conference

in Albuquerque in 2007

★ National Student Advertising Competition in Albuquerque in 2011

★ Will help with District ADDYs Judgingin Albuquerque in 2013

The year I was AAF-NM President

We paid off a $22,000+ credit card debt

Without cutting club events and services And now are rebuilding our cash reserves one year later(see AAF-NM Annual Report in SlideShare Documents)

PUBLIC SERVICE MEDIAThe American Advertising Federation of New Mexico offers our sincerest thanks to those companies supporting our Public Service Media program. To date, millions of dollars in

media and creative services have been donated to support the efforts of ARCA, Catholic Charities, El Ranchito de los Niños, Make-A-Wish, United Blood Services, Big Brother Big Sisters and other non-profits in New Mexico. This program helps AAF-NM provide

top quality educational and industry events for our members and community.

NON-PROFIT PARTNERS

I worked to reinvent our AAF-NM Public Service Media

Program so we now have

$500,000 donated media services

and $90,000 cash

from three clients coming into the club each year and a waiting

list of future potential clients who want to participate

in the program.

IAAF has been instrumental in my professional development throughout my marketing and

creative career. I cherish the many associates and friendships that I have made through AAF.

I’m a super hard worker,

very responsive, energetic and enthusiastic.

I work for

Heritage Hotels & Resorts

A boutique, independent, culturally-inspired NM hospitality company.

Call me if you ever want to visit or host an event in Santa Fe,

Albuquerque or Las Cruces.
