This is the latest installment of the NACCU series highlighting our association volunteers. NACCU provides programs and services to our members, many which would not be possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteer leaders. Volunteers, whether they are a committee member, a Board member, or an onsite volunteer at a conference, are all important in making NACCU volunteer-driven programs an exceptional experience for our card industry peers.

I am watching Ozark, again. I am preparing for season 3.

I was an online student, so I will say the ability to do everything from home.

I used to crochet when I was younger. I need to get back into the game.

I'm not a beach person; I am more of a cabin woman.
