Candidate's Statement: My interest in pursing this position stems partly from the state of science education in our local communities, but also from our chapters recent success at revitalization. Our chapter is proud of this achievement because of our unique geographical isolation (due to propulsion testing activities). The promotion of science education in our surrounding communities (in southern Mississippi/Louisiana) is weak, and could benefit greatly from the pool of talent present at our complex (a federal research and testing facility comprised of state and federal agencies as well as several university departments). I would like to become active at the national level to facilitate the exchange of ideas, initiatives, and public awareness between chapters in close proximity to us as well as the national organization.
