Glenn's Statement of Purpose

It’s been an absolute pleasure to serve as part of the NDASA Board for the last few years and I would welcome the ability to continue in this capacity. In my time with the NDASA Board, I have been an active representative on the NDASA International Committee. In this capacity, I have assisted with the content and build of the newly refreshed international page on the NDASA website. I have also previously worked with the NDASA Executive Director to create a geographically specific online training program for conflict management protocols within the workplace drug testing environment.

I am dedicated to growing the international arm of NDASA to have a truly global membership community linked through the common purpose of a consistent and robust workplace drug testing industry. I see that NDASA has a unique opportunity to achieve this goal and I am keen to continue driving towards this. My management and governance background, in law enforcement, government departments and within the workplace drug testing industry provides me with a unique set of experiences and skills that I would like to continue providing as part of the NDASA.
