Amy will be speaking about the San Francisco Giants’ incredible run of three World Series Championships in five years in relation to the NACAS core values of Integrity, Leadership, Adaptability, Excellence, Inclusiveness, Respect and Community. Amy will emphasize that following the core values will create opportunity, both personally and professionally, to “advance campus experiences that enrich the quality of life for students”, which is a key element of the stated NACAS mission. Each NACAS member deals with a student “touchpoint” that can greatly influence how a student feels about their college experience. By enhancing those touchpoints all of the vested parties – students, parents, administrators, and the surrounding community – feel good about their decisions and their direction.
