I was president of the Innovative Fashion Association for 1 year. In that time I organized multiple fashion shows and directed them myself, organized multiple other events to help the community and raise money for organizations in need, such as, the Central Missouri Humane Society, the Lutheran Family and Children Services, and The Intersection.
