I am very pleased to have been voted into the Board of Directors position for the Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society (TCSS). I have enjoyed assuming management of the Urban Rescue Program and I believe that the assistance our club provides to homeowners in need of cactus removal is a valuable service to our community. Our dedication helps raise awareness and advance the knowledge of the value of our native plants. Through these efforts, we continue to aid in the protection and conservation of cacti in our area which has resulted in Pima Prickly Park and the club receiving beautiful and occasionally rare specimens.

In addition to my work with the Urban Rescue program, I am eager to bring fresh ideas and new approaches to TCSS. One area I am particularly interested in improving is our website. With my 15+ years of web development experience I believe a streamlined and updated look for the TCSS website can be completed with the help of a small group of volunteers. As a board member I look forward to collaborating and working alongside the dedicated people in the club and I will promote an inclusive environment where everyone's voice is heard and valued.
