Mrs Monterey Sims
Director of Admissions and Evaluation at University of Phoenix
Nominations and Elections Committee Position Statement
I have worked at the University of Phoenix for 25 years starting from entry level up to my current role as Director of Admissions and Evaluation. I have been a member of AACRAO for about 20 years and served in various volunteer roles in the PACS, Co-Chair of Volunteers and more recently have become very involved in my regional association PACRAO on LAC. I have met some amazing people journey in higher education and would consider it a privilege to work with the AACRAO Nominations and Elections committee to generate nominations of excellent candidates for membership to consider for the AACRAO Board of Directors and N & E ballots. I will bring a diverse perspective and a desire to work hard to serve our membership. I am committed to personal and professional growth as demonstrated by taking on increased responsibility within my institution and within AACRAO. I love to see others also afforded these amazing opportunities. This is why I would embrace the opportunity to serve the AACRAO Membership on the Nominations and Elections Committee. I strongly believe that active participation in AACRAO affords each of us an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. This growth in turn improves the capabilities of AACRAO and our institutions which translates to better experiences for ourselves, our staff and the students we serve.
