Leading this 501(c)3 non-profit, I serve on our board, guiding the meetings to encourage individual growth, community, and education. I serve as a member of our Programs Committee to support monthly programs and recognize underserved topics and identify thought leaders. Additionally, I help drive our communications through email marketing and social media strategies. I launched two social media groups for members-only as a place for members to connect with their network, created the sponsorship program for the Chapter, and launched a student-strategy to attract student members. Additionally, I attend the SMPS Chapter Leader Symposium held every year in Washington D.C. (2022-Present). As a thought leader, I give presentations on topics including Social Media Trends and Marketing Research for New Markets.

2023 was the First Annual Construction Science Expo for Lansing. This event took place in October 2023 and served as a way to educate Lansing Middle School students on Engineering and Construction careers and topics. As a member of the planning committee, I helped plan the event including brainstorming and decision-making, and created the Save the Date marketing material. In addition, I organized a two-booth area for RS Engineering -- highlighting both bridge components ("Touch a Bridge") and Traffic Services (Traffic Counting and Control). We spent all day teaching hundreds of students the importance of engineering and infrastructure, as well as the lesser-known roles at firms like ours. Our booth was even featured on the Governor's tour of the event prior to kick-off.
