Brief Statement
I would be honored to serve on the AAHE Board of Directors. I joined AAHPERD as a student in 1987 and became an AAHE member in 1997 as a professional, teaching in the area of public school health education and supervising an employee worksite wellness program for faculty and staff. I have presented at numerous AAHE conferences since 1998 and have served AAHE in the trenches as an abstract reviewer and in leadership – Awards Committee, Research Coordinating Board, and SABPAC Committee (2 terms). I have garnered greater insight into the association's workings, challenges, and opportunities. Although I am committed to AAHE for many reasons, the most important is because AAHE is the voice and advocate for health education/promotion every day. This is a critical time to protect federal resources, advocate nationally and locally, strengthen ties to other national organizations (i.e. SOPHE, ASHA, ASCD, APHA, etc.), and catalyze innovative solutions for the future of AAHE. A central call to the Board of Directors is to better AAHE so that we are an even more effective voice for health education/promotion – to advance our shared vision.
Increasing our impact in this fiscal environment will not be easy and requires addressing internal opportunities – such as increasing AAHE's value and accessibility among state associations, accessing expertise among members, examining new partnerships and membership models, and creating paths for synergy among components. We must work collegially and efficiently.
I have served in a leadership capacity in other health organizations such as APHA, ASHA, NYS AHPERD, and PA AHPERD and look forward to coordinating with these organizations to advance AAHE. My track record in AAHE and other organizations demonstrates my ability to collaborate, listen and take progressive action. My passion for the field of health education/promotion and my connectedness between academia and the community are two strengths that best enable me to support AAHE's mission. I am at a vantage point in my work to both advise and teach undergraduate students in community health and to place these future health educators at community sites for internship credit. I also advise and teach graduate students majoring in school health education. It would be my great honor to continue this stewardship as a member of the AAHE Board of Directors.
My brief bio includes being the 2009 Western Zone NYSAHPERD Health Professional of the Year award and the 2005 ASHA Scholarship Award (School Health Education) and was named the Pennsylvania (PSAHPERD) Health Educator of the Year in 1997 and a 1998 national finalist with AAHE. In 1998 I also received a Senate Citation for Education award. I am a Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES) and a member of Eta Sigma Gamma. I serve as a national trainer for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) and was previously the Wellness/Health Promotion consultant to the Western Pennsylvania Health Care Consortium. I was the founder and director of the Sharon City School District's Employee Wellness Program, which won the 1995 award for best Worksite Wellness Program in Pennsylvania. My current research is focused on the Coordinated Approach to School Health, worksite wellness, program and individual accreditation/certification and child adolescent health issues. I have presented over 60 international, national and state-level papers/workshops.
