I have been affiliated with the Empire State Chapter since 1994, when I began working for the Cayuga County Soil & Water Conservation District. When I first began I helped with the packing and shipping of the stormwater publication orders. Shortly after that I began keeping track of the publication inventory and also the assembly of the publications. Then I began helping to keep the financial records for the stormwater publication orders, as well as, filling the orders. Currently I am considered the Executive Office Manager for the Empire State Chapter. I assist the Treasurer with all financial matters, as well as, process all of the stormwater publication orders. I also keep the publication inventory up to speed along with assembling books and processing orders, etc.
I also work at the Cayuga County Soil & Water Conservation District and have been with them since 1994. I began as an AmeriCorps Watershed Assistant and then became Typist and Senior Typist. I have an Associate’s Degree from Cayuga County Community College in Secretarial Science.
