Finance Committee Member (1-Year Term) Candidates

Logan Britton
Kansas State University

NACTA Involvement

2022 NACTA Journal awards reviewer; 2022 NACTA conference abstract reviewer; 2020 NACTA Graduate Student Teaching Citation; NACTA National Conference attendee (2020, 2022)

How NACTA would benefit from Logan's Leadership

Being an agricultural economist, I have a natural tendency to be financial minded. While my time in academia has been short, I have taken and taught courses with agricultural finance topics. In one of my civil organizations, I served as a treasurer for two years. This required me to maintain semi-annual budgets, oversee revenues and expenses, and communicate with other officers on our financial position. Being a junior faculty member, I see this as an opportunity to not only combine my passions of teaching and finances but also start my involvement in an organization with a great legacy that I want to contribute toward.

Cheryl Wachenheim
North Dakota State University

NACTA Involvement

Cheryl has been a proud member of NACTA for over twenty years. Her participation has helped her grow as a teacher, colleague, and leader. She has been a regular attendant and presenter at conferences in the intervening years and has become an active contributor to the organization, gaining so much in inspiration, ideas, and support from the NACTA community. She just completed her term as the North Central Region Director and has also recently served as a NACTA Journal article and abstract reviewer, and on the Program Planning and Awards Committees. She has served on Ad Hoc committees such as the Visionary Committee and the Finance Committee. She loves everything NACTA and has been a strong proponent of the organization since the beginning of her academic career. Cheryl is excited for the opportunity to represent the membership in serving on the finance committee.

How NACTA would benefit from Cheryl's leadership

For Cheryl, it would be a great honor to continue to serve in an organization that has been such a big part of her life. In addition to her love for NACTA, Cheryl teaches agricultural finance and is well versed in banking and finance. It would be great to put this knowledge and experience to use for NACTA and be part of the finance team. Thanks for the consideration.
