Run APA Like a Business

With my nearly ten (10) years of experience serving on the IT Steering Committee, I have successfully delivered numerous projects supporting both APA staff, APA Members.  In addition, I have successfully built consensus and leveraged relationships within APA, within other unions and pilot groups, and within American Airlines to advance the priorities of the association.

I am focused on bringing my experience from my time spent in the corporate world, championing transparency and performance, to include:

• Clear financial reporting: Upgrade our current accounting systems to provide easier-to-read financial reports in near real-time.

• Project-based reporting: Implement new solutions to track funds allocated to specific projects within APA. This will allow us to better judge both the cost estimation and return on investment (ROI).

• Run APA Like a Business: We are a large organization serving a growing membership. We need to leverage best industry practices when practical.

• Return on Investment: Regularly review and report on projects and programs to ensure they are meeting the set goals and are delivering the projected value to the membership through defined benchmarks and metrics.

• Adjust and Improve: Based on lessons learned, supported by analytics, continue to adjust future strategies to meet the desired ROI.
