Message to BCAMC Members: I am pleased and honored to serve as your Vice President of Membership for 2023. I believe it is every Aggie's responsibility to maintain the Aggie traditions and esprit de corps through remaining in touch with fellow Aggies as we go through our lives. Membership in local clubs, like ours, can be a key vehicle to do that. Unfortunately, when we are younger and trying to build our lives, we tend to get disconnected. My priority is to focus on how BCAMC can best serve the needs of Aggies living in Brazos County from the classes of 2000 to 2022 to keep them engaged while dealing with the pressures of raising their families and establishing their careers.
