Candidate for Treasurer-Elect

Keith Wellings

Statement of Candidacy
Because it is an honor to have the opportunity to work for the membership of VASFAA, I am humbled to be selected by the Nominations Committee as a candidate for Treasurer.

Serving on the VASFAA Board for three years as representative-at-large in 1999-2000 and again in 2005-2007 has familiarized me with the responsibilities of this position. I have also worked with numerous committees, sometimes as a leader and other times as a follower, always as a team player. Currently I serve on the Budget and Finance and the New Century Committees in the administration of the New Century and the Sue Deaton Ross Endowments.

Membership in VASFAA has provided us all with a great deal of opportunities, experiences, and knowledge. I hope to do whatever I can to repay the organization and help the greater good—I encourage you to do the same. I guess that like our students, I am working off my debt.

I appreciate the opportunity to represent you, my colleagues, as we look to the future together. Our collective knowledge and talents continue to take us to new frontiers.
