What a ride this has been!!! After three amazing years on the Sports ETA board, I'm thrilled to continue my journey with the association as Secretary/Treasurer. People often ask why I'd take on so much extra work, especially since it's all voluntary. That's a great question. On the surface, it might seem a little nuts. I never knew sports tourism would be my calling in life. After all, I studied geology... But why look at rocks when you can rock in sports?? The reality is that sports have the power to change lives. They can transform communities, uplift the youth, motivate the elderly, ignite passions, tear down barriers, and bring us all together. Working in this industry is a bit crazy, but it's also incredibly rewarding. I also have come to realize that sports tourism needs a collective voice in this evolving world. And we need this association more now than ever before, as we are stronger together. So yes, I serve.. And hopefully, just hopefully, I can make just a little bit of difference.
