Engagement Cohort
“ReMA … saw my potential and gave me opportunities to grow and learn. Through my years of service, I have grown to appreciate the vast amount of work ReMA dedicates to benefit member organizations. Through this growth, I realized that I have a responsibility to convey this message to our young executives and emerging leaders in our industry. This award is a culmination of the many leaders, fellow young executives, and mentors I have met through the years. As we continue our path, I urge young executives to become involved. There are many opportunities, at many different levels, to serve this Association and to support this incredible industry. Our young executives’ group is the future. We must learn together, lead together, and work together.”
