Regional Opportunities Include:
I appreciate the opportunity to promote scholarship created by ACUI members and contribute to the research program for the Association. However, what I value most is the connections I’ve made with other volunteers, who’ve served as resources and sounding boards in my own work.
Service is a value that is close to my heart and that I find very fulfilling, whether it is in my neighborhood, on my campus, or with ACUI. Working with corporate partners allows me to give back to ACUI and also to develop important relationships with many companies that provide valuable products and services for ACUI members.
