When I was a kid, I loved going into work with my mom. I would empty out the backgammon case and use that as my briefcase (hey, it was the 80s). I couldn’t wait to have a career, but I didn’t know “why” until I discovered association management. By their very nature, not-for-profit associations exist to help improve an industry and those in the profession. I love that. Leading a mission driven organization grounds both members and staff in the purpose of the work. Since I started at AACE, I’ve asked “why” a lot. It’s sparked a lot of conversation around how we work and how we could serve members even better. And that all starts with developing ourselves…

On the weekend of May 16-17, 2020, downtown Milwaukee’s Public Service Building (PSB) suffered severe steam damage after heavy rainfall infiltrated the tunnel system housing the piping used to distribute steam across the city. Millions of gallons of rainwater entered the tunnel system, damaging conduits and pipe insulation that caused the system to fail in two critical spots – one of them being the basement of the PSB. As a result, steam pressure blew off the access door to the basement, manhole covers were blown off along downtown streets, and steam and water affected all levels of the building. Steam permeated through the HVAC system, causing elevators, electrical equipment, carpeting, furniture, ceiling tiles, light fixtures, historical marble, ornate woodworking, and much more to take on insurmountable damage. It was nothing short of a disaster…

My college advisor was the director of public relations. As I observed and learned of the work he was doing, I decided that it was a career option for me…
