Campaign Statement:
As an 8-year member, I have been committed to the Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale because of the organizational ideals and dedication to positive social impact- which are closely aligned with my personal beliefs. The Krewe has bought about so many exciting challenges that has helped me to discover new things about myself and has contributed to increasing my involvement in service based activities. I would like to continue this legacy of servant leadership as a Member at Large on the MKFF Board of Directors. Throughout these past 8 years, I have actively participated on various Krewe committees, such as Community Engagement and Membership, where I work to ensure this organization’s mission, vision and values are well represented. I have cultivated relationships with members of the MKFF and the community, as a whole. Through this experience, I have garnered insights into their concerns and hopes for the future. With this knowledge, I hope to further the impact of the MKFF organization, and the community we serve. As you review my credentials, I hope to convey the message of my personal commitment to service, community, and leadership as I contend for the position of Member at Large. I will serve as a convener and liaison between members and the Board to ensure that all voices are continuously heard and the needs of each member are recognized and actualized. If elected, I plan to nurture the relationships within the organization and cultivate the bonds of sisterhood to increase the strength of MKFF.
