Statement for the Ballot:

To be honest, I have never felt like the ACA has done enough to support special needs camps, especially those that serve adults. The Camp industry is incredibly diverse and sometimes I feel that camps like ours are forgotten or held to irrelevant standards that apply to more typical camps. I have attended ACA conferences and felt like I did not belong, because I was not a

typical “cam person”. The ACA mission is a very good one and I would hope to

expand on that by adding a unique

opinion from a not-so-typical experience. I have extensive knowledge on inclusion, creating employment and training

programs for people with disabilities, and public and nonprofit administration.

Statement for the Ballot:

As the only year-round employee for my camp, I rely heavily on the professional community of camps. I have enjoyed speaking at the New England Camp Conference twice, and I have attended several conferences through last five years. I believe the New England Camp

community is one of the strongest in the camping industry, and it’s part of why I love working at camp.

I am interested in how camps can

continue to improve DEI at our own camps and throughout the industry, and I see myself as a perpetual learner in this space. My work with the Maine Summer Camps education committee has positioned me well to bring that experience to the New England Board.

Because I work mostly with a Board of Directors at camp, I am familiar working with Board Members of all levels, and I am committed to being a strong, active asset to the Board should I get the opportunity.
