I believe my professional experience in a wide variety of industries is very valuable as IBTF transitions from its ‘start-up’ phase into operating as the single governing body for baton twirling worldwide.
I look forward to continuing to contribute to the ongoing improvement in the governance, administration, education, and competition management of IBTF.
