Executive Committee Member Spotlight
Aimee Bell, ICAA President Elect
Associate Vice President for Advancement
Lake Erie College
- How many years have you been a member of ICAA? Of the executive committee?
- I have served on the executive committee for four years but have been participating in ICAA professional development opportunities as a member for more than ten years.
- What is your favorite ICAA event of the year?
- It’s difficult to choose just one event! The day-long spring and fall workshops are great for diving deeper into specific topics and gives me the opportunity to visit other campuses. But, it’s hard to beat the ICAA Summer Conference for the variety of programming and the many opportunities to benchmark, network, and connect with others in our field.
- What is your favorite ICAA memory?
- My first ICAA summer conference in Indianapolis, IN. I was new to the advancement field and the programming helped me to get off to a fast start in my new position. I walked away feeling motivated and inspired, and with many new friendships and connections which I continue to cherish to this day!
- What is a fun fact about you?
- I love to be outside and my two favorite outdoor activities are tending my backyard vegetable garden and kayaking on the Cuyahoga River.
