For sixteen years there were no audit exceptions in the annual audit report.

o Exhibited the foresight to champion inclusion of high-speed fiber optic network while leading modernization of all facilities in the mid-90s, while others doubted the competitive significance of Internet infrastructure which now supports VoIP.

Fundraising/Partnerships

o Forged a valuable, long-term partnership with a local Auto Dealers' Association, which will provide the career school I led for 16 years with $80,000 worth of equipment and services per year for 10 years, by persistently presenting business benefits of creating a state-of-the-art automechanics training program.

o Built and led a highly motivated affinity-based alumni advisory group in planning and executing a solicitation strategy that raised $1.8 million in donations within 18 months for a scholarship corpus providing $80,000 in annual scholarships.
