Zulu is more than just an organization; it is a legacy, a community, and a cultural institution. As a Board Member, I will focus on:
Upholding and Defending Zulu’s Constitution
- I am a fierce supporter of our Constitution, even when it is inconvenient or unpopular.
- I believe many of the answers to Zulu’s toughest challenges already exist within the Constitution if we apply it consistently and fairly.
- As a Board Member, I will uphold, defend, and honor the Constitution, ensuring that decisions are made with integrity, transparency, and in the true spirit of Zulu's founding principles.
Financial Responsibility
- I have a proven track record of managing billion-dollar projects safely, ontime and within budget.
- As Entertainment Chairman, I delivered Coronation Ball entertainment under budget six out of seven years, with the one exception receiving board approval for additional funds before expended.
- I treat Zulu’s money like my own, ensuring transparency and accountability in financial decisions.
Real Estate & Infrastructure Growth
- Assist Zulu in securing a permanent float den to store our expanding fleet of floats. With my real estate development experience, I can help identify the right location, secure funding, and oversee the construction of a facility that meets our specific needs.
Stronger Corporate Sponsorships
- Expand corporate partnerships to secure more funding for Zulu’s future, building on my success in securing nearly $300,000 in sponsorships from Toyota.
Modernizing Zulu’s Business Operations
- Embrace innovation by incorporating modern technology and innovative solutions to further streamline operations, strengthen finances, and enhance membership engagement.
- Apply my MBA in Finance and extensive leadership experience to implement strong business practices that support Zulu’s continued growth and success.
Revamping the Lounge, Glapion Building & Memorabilia Shop Operations
- Transform the Zulu Lounge, Glapion Building and Memorabilia Shop into profitable assets by applying my experience as a successful club owner to maximize revenue, improve efficiency, and implement effective pricing strategies.
Bridge Between History & The Future
