Goals and Objectives: During the past 10 years, my membership in AACE International has directly led to some of the most challenging and enjoyable employment opportunities in my entire life. As Association President, I would strive to give back to AACE International in the same way. Specifically, I’ll focus on the following items as a means of advancing the "value-added" component of our association:

• Improve the quality in everything we do, while leveraging relationships other professional associations/societies to indentify “best practices,” with the ultimate goal being the recognition of AACE International as one of the preeminent professional associations throughout all of industry.
• Increase the validity and industry acceptance of our CCE/CCC certification to the point where it supplants the PMP as the most recognized project management/controls related certification in the world.
• Cultivate our relationships with colleges and universities to further advertise project controls as a separate career path from project management.
• Enhance relationships with existing corporate sponsors by clearly articulating AACE’s “value proposition,” while reaching out to leading contractor/consulting firms for them to become CSPs.
• Increase the participation of project management/controls professionals working within aerospace and defense (A&D) and IT industries, while maintaining our strong level of support to AACE’s “base membership” from engineering and construction.
