I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the voters of the Junior Staff Association for electing me as president of the association. I am honored and humbled that you have placed your trust in me.

The support I felt on Election Day was incredible and I owe it to you.

With your trust, I will work tirelessly on your behalf to help address challenges, and to secure lasting and meaningful improvements to the members quality of life.

Not only am I thankful for your support, but also for all the candidates who offer to serve the association and seek solutions for members problems. It is not easy to put oneself out there in such a public forum, so I give credit to those with the initiative to do so.

 I especially want to thank the hardworking electoral board and some individuals who provided me guidance and support.

 To the staff and many volunteers who came forward to assist with my campaign, I say a big thank you! We couldn`t have succeeded without you. Many of you spent hours contributing to the campaign and I sincerely thank each of you.

To my fellow elected Executives, Congratulations!

 I look forward to working with you as a team to advance issues of importance to Valley View University and Junior Staff as well.

To the other candidates who could be merged as winners, I thank you for participating in the democratic process.

 As the president-elect of the association, I am going to liaise with the University administrators in advancing the course of the University and to enhance the unity and development of Junior Staff.

 Again, I thank you for the opportunity to serve.
