Vision:

The potential for the WCNCR is enormous – our unique location, growing alumni base, and desire for people to get back to in-person events post-pandemic is a great setting for a thriving club. I would like to help the club develop and amplify its unique brand with clearly defined value propositions that drive engagement. This includes growing our base, boosting awareness, collaboration with other regions, and exploring ways to co-develop events with external entities where it makes sense. The WCNCR should be a fun, dynamic, and welcoming destination that all of our Alumni can be proud of and want to support.
