Ron Vogel CHE’01/MCHE’15

Running for: Treasurer

Campaign Statement

As the current CUAA Treasurer, I support the CUAA and its Committees so they operate as nimbly as possible.  Transparency and efficiency have been central as I refine the budgeting process so that the CUAA and the School can work best together in the coming years. 

Sound financial and organizational decisions are even more important in light of the pandemic. In that vein, I led a successful effort to secure pro-bono representation from a top-tier tax attorney to advise the CUAA on decisions related to its non-profit (i.e. 501(c)) status.  

As Treasurer (or an unelected alumnus), I will continue to seek input from inside and out of the CUAA to the serve the School in its Return to Free.
